Master in Double Degrees

At NOVA University Lisbon, tuition fees are 21,000 USD per year.

Graduates of these programs emerge as highly competitive professionals equipped to navigate complex, cross-border business environments, often securing leadership roles in international consultancy, global finance, and multinational corporate strategy. By integrating two distinct academic cultures, these degrees offer a unique vantage point on global markets that single-degree paths cannot replicate.

Students spend one year at Nova SBE and one year at a partner institution, effectively immersing themselves in two different educational systems. This structure is specifically designed for ambitious students who seek to combine specialized local market knowledge with a broad international perspective.

Global Institutional Network

Nova SBE maintains strategic partnerships with several of the world's most prestigious business schools. Key benefits of this path include:

• Obtaining two distinct Master's degrees upon successful completion of both schools' requirements.
• Deepening expertise in specific economic or management contexts by living and studying in two different countries.
• Accessing the combined alumni networks and career services of both Nova SBE and the partner institution.

Please note that candidates are not permitted to apply for a Double Degree in their own country of nationality (e.g., an Italian candidate cannot apply for the Bocconi or LUISS partnerships).
