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.

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.

In compliance with the  Code of Ethics of the Order of Portuguese Psychologists , this service is confidential and open to everyone.

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.

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.

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. Website: http://novafrica.org/novafrica-student-group/?_ga=2.229530076.1510450752.1647942720-2102330250.1621521233

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. Website: https://novacaseteam.wixsite.com/novacaseteam/?_ga=2.229530076.1510450752.1647942720-2102330250.1621521233

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. Website: http://novaeconomicsclub.pt/?_ga=2.229530076.1510450752.1647942720-2102330250.1621521233

  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. Website: http://novainvestmentclub.com/?_ga=2.229530076.1510450752.1647942720-2102330250.1621521233

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.

The club provides strategic management consulting services through their many projects each semester. With their diverse teams from Bachelor's to Master's and from Economics, Finance, to Management students, they are able to provide companies like L'Oréal and Millennial Bank with top-notch student services. In addition, they also work on at least one pro bono project each semester.

In addition to providing services to clients, NJC also plans two signature events every year: Consulting Week and NJC Crack the Case, which aims to help students prepare for consulting interviews. Because of their partnerships with Deloitte and A.T. Kearney, they were able to create both of these events that tremendously help Nova SBE students. 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 Portfolio Management Club

The Portfolio Management Club is an initiative that seeks to promote financial literacy amongst all students. The club manages a real portfolio of assets and applies asset allocation strategies alongside equity valuations and macroeconomic analysis, providing an opportunity for students interested in financial markets to obtain a real hands-on experience. Website: http://pmc-novasbe.com/?_ga=2.229530076.1510450752.1647942720-2102330250.1621521233

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! Website: https://www.facebook.com/Novarunningclub?_ga=2.229530076.1510450752.1647942720-2102330250.1621521233 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!
