Nova School of Business & Economics (Nova SBE) has achieved a new milestone in the international higher education panorama by being included, for the first time, in the group of the ten best master's degrees in management in the world. The 8th place obtained in the Financial Times Master's in Management ranking represents, compared to 2023, a rise of seven places in the global ranking and continued leadership in Portugal.
With this result, the school has achieved another unprecedented acomplishment in Portugal, becoming the first Portuguese business school to have both of its masters programs evaluated by the Financial Times (Finance in 7th place and Management in 8th) in the world's Top 10.
The school particularly stood out in the international mobility and academic experience indicators and the carbon footprint (which evaluates the school's carbon emissions over the last three years) indicators. The school also achieved a satisfaction score of 9.31 on a scale of 10 from its students. These indicators reinforce the relevance and impact of Nova SBE's training program and underline the school's commitment to training global leaders who are committed to sustainability and excellence.
“This global recognition is a reflection of our ongoing commitment to training leaders who are prepared for the challenges of the future, always keeping academic excellence and innovation as fundamental pillars,” says Nova SBE's Dean, Pedro Oliveira, adding that “in a global world, our challenge as a school that assumes a responsibility towards society is to provide our students with international experiences so that they can be prepared for the market and so that they can grow and develop among other cultures, but at the same time always see Nova SBE and Portugal as their home”.
The Financial Times Master’s in Management ranking evaluates the 100 best management master's programs in the world every year, using 19 indicators to classify the quality of the program. These include the metrics “career progression and mobility of graduates”, “diversity of teaching staff and students” and, more recently, the school's “carbon footprint”.
