Bachelor's Programs

International Students

Students can apply to the Nova SBE Bachelor’s programs with this call if they don't hold  the nationality of a member state of the European Union and haven't lived in Portugal for more than two consecutive years.
 
All candidates should apply trough the Pre-University Semester, managed by NOVA University Lisbon. The Pre-University Semester will help students in the process of adapting to the European teaching system. It aims to level up the candidate's technical knowledge and provide the required language competencies (when needed) to students who wish to apply, in the future, to a bachelor's degree or integrated master's in one of NOVA's schools. This multidisciplinary program offers students the opportunity to choose three courses offered by NOVA's schools, attend the Ideas Club and Portuguese and English classes, thus developing language competences to pursue the intended studies for a University degree at NOVA.
Candidates to the Pre-University Semester must satisfy the following requirements:
 
  • Hold a High School diploma or a document that attests to the completion of High School, including a transcript of records with a full list of courses and corresponding grades
  • Have a minimum of B2 fluency in at least one of the following languages: Portuguese or English (depending on the language of the Bachelor’s degree you want upon completion of the program)
