The tuition fee is 21,000 USD per year.

Nova SBE offers a multifaceted internationalization strategy embedded within the Master's in Management, designed to transform students into globally-minded leaders. Rather than a singular path, students select from a diverse portfolio of mobility options that extend far beyond traditional classroom learning.

Global Mobility Pathways

• Exchange Programs: Immerse yourself in a different culture for one semester at one of Nova SBE’s extensive international partner schools, spanning from Singapore and Japan to Scandinavia and the Middle East.
• Double Degree: Deepen your expertise by earning two distinct qualifications. This competitive track requires a specialized application process, including a motivation letter and an interview, allowing you to graduate with credentials from Nova SBE and a prestigious international partner institution.
• CEMS MIM: Engage in an exclusive two-year journey that integrates your Master’s in Management with the CEMS Master in International Management. This path connects you with a network of 33 elite business schools, corporate partners, and a global community of forward-thinking peers committed to academic rigor and real-world impact.

These pathways ensure that every student can tailor their international experience to align with their specific career objectives, whether that involves regional expertise through exchange or high-level academic collaboration through double degrees and the CEMS alliance.
