Nova SBE's previous main building in Campolide.

Nova SBE is on the list of the 30 best business schools in Europe with about 3000 students from more than 70 different countries. Its programs are recognized by a wide range of academic rankings, such as the Financial Times Ranking,[1] The Economist,[2] Eduniversal,[3] Times Higher Education[4] and QS World Rankings.[5]

Member of the CEMS Alliance since December 2007, it is the only university in the country that offers the renowned CEMS Master in Management, which is ranked 8th in the world by the Financial Times Ranking.[6] Furthermore, Nova SBE is also a member of the restricted group of Triple Crown world schools, which implies accreditation by EQUIS, AMBA and AACSB, and is the only Portuguese school classified by Eduniversal as "Universal Business School" with five Eduniversal Palms placing the school within the best 1% of world's leading business schools.[7]

It was the first Portuguese business school to acquire international accreditations and recognition of world renown in higher education. The international vision of Nova SBE is also reflected in the adoption of English as the main teaching language.

The current Dean is Professor Daniel Traça (PhD, Columbia University), also a former student of the school (BSc Economics '85).

The new campus in Carcavelos (Municipality of Cascais) was inaugurated on September 29, 2018. The financing of the Carcavelos Campus project was made possible by corporate and individual donations.[8] From 1978 (the year it was founded) until 1988, Nova SBE campus was in Campo Grande. After that, and until it moved to Carcavelos in September 2018, the School was housed in the 19th-century building of the former Jesuit College of Campolide.

Knowledge at Nova SBE: Faculty, Knowledge Centers, Hubs & Labs

Ranked Excellent in Research by Portugal's Science and Technology Foundation.

Faculty and research play a central role in knowledge creation and dissemination at Nova SBE. The international orientation of Nova SBE is also represented in the faculty body from over 25 different nationalities. Led by its faculty, research underpins its academic output. We value insight and experimentation that results in positive changes in the world, the kind that challenges the statu quo, encourages entrepreneurs, influences leaders, and inspires people to wonder ‘why not?’.

Research at Nova SBE is combined in the Nova SBE research unit, Knowledge Centers, Hubs & Labs. The research unit integrates the three basic disciplinary areas – Economics, Finance, and Management – and all its researchers into a single unit.[9]

Knowledge Centers are aggregating units. They allow faculty members to work in the different phases of knowledge creation, transfer and dissemination. Many aggregate labs & projects.

Labs are research and innovation infrastructures, they bring together various stakeholders to generate creative ideas, products/services, data, etc.

Hubs streamline communities creating links and activation events.

Both provide conditions to experimentation (Labs) and connect (Hubs).

The eight Knowledge Centers at Nova SBE are conducting research with a dedicated focus on individual subjects and a cross-disciplinary orientation.[10]

The Carcavelos Campus

The campus project combines academic quality with the lifestyle that Portugal - especially the Lisbon and Cascais region – has to offer: safe, cozy, near the sea, and accessible, in a country with history and culture. Facing the sea next to the Carcavelos beach, with an area of more than 75,061 m2, with low buildings and large open green spaces open to the community, the ideology of the campus is based on four pillars:

  1. Collaborative teaching — The space allows for the application of new teaching paradigms, focused on collaborative learning;
  2. Cozy and comfortable environment;
  3. Openness to the community among students, teachers, Alumni, companies, and neighbors;
  4. Nova Way of Life — which embodies academic rigor aimed at making an effective impact on the lives of individuals and organizations.

In April 2019 the Carcavelos Campus won the award for Best Real Estate Project of the Year and Best Collective Equipment at the 21st edition of the Real Estate National Awards.

The Fundraising Campaign

With the objective of financially supporting the construction of the new campus and the development of the school, a private fundraising campaign was launched in 2014 with the goal of raising 50 million euros, led by the Alfredo de Sousa Foundation. The foundation was created by four founders: the Cascais Municipality, Santander Totta Bank, Jerónimo Martins, the Soares dos Santos family, and is named after the founder of Nova SBE — in order to honor the vision and ambition he instilled in the school.

The campaign was supported by over 50 companies and around 2000 individual donors. This is a remarkable case of private fundraising for a public institution.

The school is proud of these contributions, which gave their name to some of the most impressive spaces of the campus, namely the:

  • Cascais Academic Hall
  • Teresa e Alexandre Soares dos Santos Library
  • Santander Academic Hall
  • Jerónimo Martins Grand Auditorium
  • Ming C. Shu Executive Hall
  • Fidelidade Seguros Plaza
  • EDP Plaza
  • Hovione Atrium
  • CTT Student Hall
  • Sagres Beach Way
  • SUMOL+COMPAL Orchard
  • Via Verde Parking
  • Navigator Company Park
  • Outsystems Square
  • Westmont Hospitality Hall

There are other spaces, such as auditoriums, connection zones, classrooms, garden benches, among others, named after all of those who decided to contribute to the Nova SBE campus.

Nova SBE is involved in research projects, executive training programs, placement of students, and programs of innovation and digital transformation with all of the companies that contributed.
