Review BSc in Economics.
Nova SBE has a really strong technical foundation. I loved my time at Nova the campus is one of the best in the world, the professors are really good and they care about you.
Review of My Overall Experience
I am writing a review about a Master’s program I intend to study. Based on my research, I believe the program will be well-structured and focused on both theoretical and practical learning. I expect it to help me develop advanced knowledge and improve my academic and professional skills. I also look forward to studying in an international environment where I can meet students from different backgrounds. However, I understand there may be challenges such as adapting to a new country and academic workload. Overall, I believe the Master’s program will be a great opportunity for my personal and career development, and I am very interested in pursuing it.
As expected
What i really liked about it so far is how different it is from the other universities in Portugal, how it´s fully taught in English and how good the professors are. What can be mostly improved is the practicality of the classes, since almost all of them are purely theoretical, and we should have more insights of the real world, as well as having a mandatory internship to prepare us better for the futur
