Master in Student Advising

Tuition comes to 21,000 USD per year.

In "How to Thrive" sessions, master's students at Nova SBE begin their journey by mapping out degree milestones and connecting with the support systems that define the school's culture. This is not a standalone academic degree, but a core institutional support framework integrated into the Master’s in Management experience to ensure no student navigates the intensity of the program alone.

The Student Advising service provides a human-centric layer of guidance designed to help students balance rigorous academic demands—such as the Work Project (thesis) or complex elective selections—with personal well-being. Whether you are launching a business while studying or managing personal health challenges, the service offers:

• Individualized Academic Guidance: Tailored support for enrollments, academic progress, and alignment of studies with long-term career ambitions.
• Evidence-Based Learning Support: Access to "Learning Hacks" and study methods that emphasize efficiency, stress reduction, and sustainable time management.
• Holistic Care: Dedicated support for students with specific educational needs, provided through confidential, personalized accommodation processes.

By fostering a proactive relationship between advisors and students, Nova SBE ensures that the management program remains a balanced, motivating, and highly rewarding environment for every participant.
