Mobility students

Students at Nova School of Business and Economics have the opportunity to study during one semester, in a foreign University, often under the ERASMUS protocol. Nova SBE usually sends around 550 students to study abroad to more than 160 Universities, in 50 different countries, with which our school has bilateral agreements and receives around 500 students every year. Nova SBE students can apply to the exchange program twice a year, since there are two separate calls per level of studies - in September (Master's) and November (Bachelor's) and February (both levels), through which they are ranked and selected to the respective universities of their choice. This experience gives the students the opportunity to study in some of the best schools in the world, gain more knowledge and enrich their curricular and personal background.

Extracurricular activities

Student Development & Well-being

The Student Development & Well-being team (SDW) aims to promote a healthy and engaging student experience where students can thrive. This team’s mission is to co-create a positive, supportive, and healthy environment, where cooperation and inclusion are nurtured, and social and academic integration are facilitated, leading to a more significant mental health and well-being. Our Programs and Resources

Social and Academic Integration Program (PAIAS)

The Social and Academic Integration Program (PAIAS) promotes a supportive relationship between freshmen and senior Bachelor's students. It facilitates the newcomers' integration and enables seniors to develop a great set of skills while helping create a collaborative, open, and inclusive environment. It also intends to help students who chose to enroll at Nova SBE and had thus to move to Lisbon/Cascais to adapt to academic life by providing a welcoming environment and fostering their social and academic integration.

Peer Tutoring Program

The Peer Tutoring program is a collaborative activity through which more experienced students provide complementary academic support to fellow students struggling with a specific course. The program's primary goal is to foster their academic success while helping students develop effective studying techniques and unique interpersonal and academic skills.

Counseling and Coaching Support

The counseling and coaching support services are carried out by clinical and coaching psychologists and are offered individually or as part of a group. Usually, students seek support for stress, anxiety, integration, and similar related issues that affect their academic journey and personal life. The counseling and coaching support's goal is to help them develop skills and competencies to overcome difficulties and guarantee a more relaxed and successful journey. In compliance with the Code of Ethics of the Order of Portuguese Psychologists, this service is confidential and open to everyone.

Thrive

There is also a well-being platform – Thrive – through which the Nova SBE community can find several tools to adopt a healthier lifestyle and resources that are crucial for mental health.

Our Events

The Student Development & Well-being promotes numerous events and activities to promote and support our community's mental health and encourage a healthy lifestyle throughout the year. Proof of that are the Student Development & Well-being team's presentations and the welcoming activities they prepare for students, the Nova SBE Well-being Week, the mental health talks, the Neuroscience & Mindfulness course, and the personal development workshops.

Other Services

Students can also reach out to Clinic CUF Nova SBE, consult the healthcare professionals available there, or contact the NOVA University's Social Welfare Services (SASNOVA), where they can find psychotherapy and psychiatry at affordable prices.

Student association

The Nova SBE Student's Union (Nova SU) is the representative body of Nova SBE's students. Activities take place throughout the year and target various goals and groups from sports to culture, and from recreational events to volunteering initiatives, among others. If you want to learn more, then please visit the Nova SBE SU's headquarters, located at the entrance of the Gallery (right next to the piano when leaving the Hovione Atrium behind), or email geral.su@novasbe.pt. You can also check their Instagram page @nova_su. and website.

Students Clubs

Clubs emerge when a group of students mobilizes around a professional goal, a common interest or an innovative idea. These groups can foster networking, and create experiences that go way beyond the walls of the classrooms.

Discover all about the Students Clubs you can join at Nova SBE and make friends for life.

CEMS Club Lisbon

CEMS Club Lisbon (CCL) is part of a global alliance: there are 30 worldwide CEMS Clubs. Their purpose is to build a cohesive CEMS community in Lisbon, to make the CEMS semester as epic and unforgettable as possible. CCL tries its best to be involved in the CEMSies daily lives by providing a more complete experience in their home or exchange school.

Members are not only determined to make things happen but also to share what the great city of Lisbon and Nova SBE have to offer.

CCL offers all kinds of events in three broad categories: Social Events, Sustainability and Corporate Relations.
A major milestone for the CEMS Club Lisbon would definitely be the full congregation between the academic and corporate department with the students, in a closer and more productive alliance, not only to organize events but to make the program run smoothly.

NOMA Marketing Consulting Student Club

How can a company communicate a new brand to customers? How can a beauty salon reach a specific customer segment? And what exactly does one have to consider in a Facebook campaign? Put your knowledge into practice and learn through real life projects what Marketing really means!
The NOMA Marketing Consulting Student Club, previously known as Nova Marketing Club, was founded in 2015. What started as an internal club for students with a passion for Marketing, is today a professional consulting club focused on strategic marketing for companies in Portugal. From national companies like Wheel – Frozen Yogurt to multinationals like Vodafone, Uber, and Google, the NOMA Marketing Consulting Student Club has a lot of amazing projects going on.
However, that is by far not everything that the NOMA Marketing Consulting Student Club has to offer. Workshops about current Marketing topics and breakfasts with interesting companies make this club an amazing opportunity for all students who seek a professional career in this area.

NOVAFRICA Student Group

The NOVAFRICA Student Group (NSG) is the students' counterpart of the Nova SBE NOVAFRICA Knowledge Center, and it was founded in 2011 by a group of Nova SBE students who were passionate about Development Economics. Their mission is to produce and promote research with an impact in less developed parts of the world, with an emphasis on Africa.
The club is a tight knit group of members who are involved in research studies that the center produces. Some of them are abroad pursuing projects implemented in countries such as Angola, Cape Verde, Gambia, Guinea-Bissau, Kenya, Mozambique, Nigeria, São Tome and Príncipe, and even Portugal.

In addition to being part of research projects and supporting the Nova SBE NOVAFRICA Knowledge Center at its conferences and events, the group also organizes activities to "put Economics at the service of people." These actions include the well-known biweekly "Pizza & Topic" debate sessions and the NOVAFRICA Student Group Mentorship Program that helps students understand which professional path they want to fulfill their career goals.

The discussions include topics like Financial Inclusion, Entrepreneurship, Climate Change, Migrations, Conflict, among others, and are student-led and facilitated by faculty at Nova SBE. These discussions are held to take steps towards tackling the issues in developing countries.

The high quality of research produced in the Nova SBE NOVAFRICA Knowledge Center attracts international speakers visiting the center to participate in seminars and conferences. This allows for another of their activities – contributing to the Nova SBE NOVAFRICA Knowledge Center Podcast and the Nova SBE NOVAFRICA Knowledge Center Blog, which are the tools used to approach students and the general audience about critical topics in Development Economics.

Nova Case Team

Nova Case Team (NCT) was founded in the second semester of the school year of 2017/18. It has three departments: Operations, Marketing and CR&Events. The club focuses on case studies and business games and is aimed at both Bachelor's and Master's students. Besides that, they also partner with consulting companies to offer business workshops based on problem solving and on information synthesis.

Nova Case Team seeks to develop soft skills and hard skills through the case studies it solves.

Nova Creative Hub

In a school that is central to diversity and personal development, six Master’s students felt that one thing was missing: creative development.
Creativity is the skill that fosters resilience and innovative problem solving: the foundation that keeps today’s world moving forward. Hence, creativity has become part of the essential skill set for future business leaders. However, its power is not always understood – “I’m not a creative person” is not an uncommon sentence to be heard. That mindset had to change, and after hours of brainstorming, Nova Creative Hub was born.
With the motto: “Everyone has the potential to be creative”, Nova Creative Hub pushes students out of their comfort zone to get new perspectives and broaden their horizon.

Their first event, in which students translated their stories onto Nova SBE’s lunch tables in a graffiti workshop, was a huge success and it showed how much potential this idea had.
Website: https://pt-pt.facebook.com/novacreativehub/?_ga=2.229530076.1510450752.1647942720-2102330250.1621521233

Nova Debate Club

The Nova Debate Club promotes weekly debates where students compete with each other or debate freely, sharing points of views with interesting and challenging speakers. The Nova Debate Club aims to promote debate and argumentation among Nova SBE students. The club wants participants to challenge the statu quo and to develop an informed and curious view of the world around them.

Founded in 2011 by Bachelor's students who wanted to bring a culture of discussion and challenge to Nova SBE, the club's board members organize weekly debates where everybody is welcomed – from those who really want to debate and participate proactively to those who are just interested in a certain topic and want to watch and learn.

The events and debates of the club make it possible for students to develop themselves and complete their school journey by improving their argumentation, rhetoric, and public speaking skills as well as open their minds to new and creative ways of thinking.
Website: https://novadebate.wordpress.com/?_ga=2.229530076.1510450752.1647942720-2102330250.1621521233

Nova Economics Club

The Nova Economics Club (NEC) was founded in 2012 by a group of students from the Master's in Economics who assessed the reforms implemented one year after the Memorandum of Understanding had been signed between the Portuguese Government and Troika.

NEC has produced studies evaluating KPI's in several markets, such as Housing and Labour, and in systems, such as Health and Justice. It elaborated reports under the Country Specific Recommendations (CSR) for the European Commission in Portugal, paper replications for the GEE (Gabinete de Estratégia e Estudos) Ministry of Economy and several others, with the support from our experienced faculty at Nova SBE. Today, several research groups are providing Evaluations of Structural Reforms in partnership with the GPEARI - Ministry of Finance and GEE – Ministry of Economy.

Besides economic research, NEC members also write articles for the national newspaper Público and in their own magazine, which has included interviews with economists such as Mário Centeno, Olivier Blanchard, Luís Mira Amaral, and many others.

In addition, NEC organizes events, such as one of the biggest events at Nova SBE: Economia Viva, alongside the Nova SBE Students’ Union, where the aim is to keep the economic discussion alive, reflecting on some of the most important subjects of nowadays. For Economia Viva 2018, some of the featured speakers were the former and current Finance Minister of Portugal, Maria Luís Albuquerque, and Mário Centeno, respectively.

Nova Investment Club

The Nova Investment Club was created in 2010 by a group of students from Nova SBE's Master's in Finance, with the intent of joining the students' enthusiasm for topics outside of the world of Finance with the students' curiosity about recent developments in financial markets. Moreover, the conception of NIC started to allow students to engage in on and off-campus activities, with the aim of connecting academics to the professional environment.

Taking into account each one's preferences, the club allocates its members across two core divisions: Financial Markets and Investment Banking. Both groups interact in regular meetings to enable broader and comprehensive analyses, development of critical thinking, and debates of on-going macroeconomic events. Above all, promoting the students' financial knowledge through various events is one of the key drivers that keep NIC members passionate.

NIC's members are the club's greatest asset, meaning that they are the ones who turn the club into something unique, being well-known for helping each other in any situation, even when all are competing for the same professional positions. By fostering a relationship with the extensive Nova SBE Alumni network and corporate partners, all members aspire to enhance Nova SBE's overall impact during the recruitment processes.

Nova Investment Club - Undergraduate Division

The Undergraduate Division of the Nova Investment Club (NICUD) was founded in 2013. One of its main purposes is to help their members learn more about the fields of corporate finance, investing and capital markets, particularly by acting as a connection to company representatives and job opportunities in these areas. With this purpose in mind, they frequently hold networking events and exchange sessions with NIC Alumni. They also directly support their members and the student community at large on applications to graduate programs.

The majority of the club's events are exclusive to Alumni and member communities. However, NIC-UD holds occasional activities open to the public, aimed at sparking interest in finance and providing guidance on career development. The "Review Hours" initiative is an example, through which students can contact the club and schedule one-on-one sessions for career advice - including CV/cover letter reviews, and mock interviews for investment banking/consulting roles.

Nova Junior Consulting

Meet Nova Junior Consulting (NJC), Nova SBE's junior enterprise consulting firm. One of the best junior consulting groups in Portugal, according to JADE Portugal. They pride themselves on being the only junior enterprise in Portugal that works in English and the only one with international members.

They also have the goal of helping their members grow as consultants and overall professionally. In the end, the club's ultimate goal is to see their members make the most out of their experience at NJC and leave Nova SBE successfully into the consulting world.

Nova Running Club

The Nova Running Club is an atypical club in the sense that they do the same event every week – training. They exist for a very simple reason: so no one needs to run alone and can share this hobby with likeminded
students.
The club members run twice a week and everyone who wants to show up is welcomed – no applications, no interviews, just fun. Therefore, the club also doesn't have a fixed number of members. On average, there are about a dozen people that regularly participate in the training sessions.
It all depends on how busy people get and, at Nova SBE, the workload can be fairly demanding. Joining the weekly running sessions is a really good solution to cope with the heavy workload and stress, since sports are essential for a healthy mind and body!

oikos Lisbon

Meet oikos Lisbon! From conferences to composting and donation events you cross paths with oikos Lisbon everywhere. The main message: help us set an example for sustainability!
The club was originally founded as “CleanerNova” and, step by step, turned into the students’ club for environment and sustainability known as "GreenNova" and now it has a whole new name. Their goal is tough: Nova SBE shall become Portugal's greenest school. This describes the club at its best: the open-minded and visionary members are highly engaged in sustainability and environmental issues at Nova SBE and truly want to have an impact.
The next steps are clear: sustainability must be a focus at the new campus from the beginning. From a composting station to the implementation of water fountains and reusable water bottles, the club is working on several projects to reach their goal. Who would not want to help them and turn Nova SBE into a role model for Portugal or, who knows, even Europe and the world?

Thus began the Thirst Project, with several teams spread across the United States of America. Fast forward to 2019, Thirst Project Portugal was created, and with it, a network of teams of enthusiastic students in schools and universities all over the country. The Nova SBE team was created in a very embryonic stage in the Fall of 2019. After that, it grew and became more structured and organized until it was officially set as a student club in the Spring of 2022.

The Nova SBE Thirst Project Student Club organized many great events, such as a virtual race and an online quiz when everyone was in lockdown and also some in-person activities such as a fado concert. This team is evolving and has many plans in mind for the future, stay tuned!
