and faculty.
Nova School of Business and Economics organizes an annual
on-campus job fair hosting over 50 leading organizations all
present to recruit from our diverse, top quality students.

EXECUTIVE
EDUCATION
For the past 20 years, Nova School of Business
and Economics has provided world-class Executive
Education for organizations and executives
in Portugal and internationally.
Our
Programs
The Nova Executive Education offer includes open enrollment
management programs and corporate learning programs
developed specifically in collaboration with selected leading
organizations:
OPEN ENROLLMENT MANAGEMENT
PROGRAMS
CORPORATE LEARNING PROGRAMS
In today’s rapidly changing competitive environment, executives must be adept at moving quickly out of their comfort
zone to acquire new leadership skills. Our general management programs aim to develop these skills for the following
three populations:
Talent is a key driver of organizational success.
• Young, high-potential managers, who are looking to accelerate their career by connecting more clearly to corporate
strategy and objectives
• Experienced managers, or those planning to set up their
own companies, who require broad-based management
skills to enable them to take on wider-reaching management responsibilities
• High-level, experienced executives who require advanced
knowledge of value drivers and strategic implementation
in order to compete at the very top
In addition to our general management programs, we offer
short-course, skills-based programs to support executives
from a variety of functional areas. These highly-intensive
programs are delivered over two or three days, and focus on
skills such as Negotiation, Leadership, Planning and Finance.
Nova Executive Education has a long track record of partnering with companies to develop their talent through organizational and personal development programs. Our Corporate
Learning Programs are based on a clear notion of partnership, where we seek to support the talent management and
development teams in building sustainable and measurable
programs to meet the demands of the specific business
problem, as well as the client’s resource constraints.
Because each business problem is unique, the programs
vary in their degree of customization, from “blank sheet”
projects involving root-and-branch strategic restructuring and highly-tailored content and delivery mechanisms,
through to semi-customized projects which aim to adapt
modular content to the specific circumstances of the participants.
In addition to supporting our clients’ drive to develop their
talent and support their strategic objectives, we see our Corporate Learning Programs as a vital bridge between faculty
research and “real world” scenarios.
Our
International Reach
Nova Executive Education is currently present in Angola,
Brazil, Mozambique and Portugal, extending the international scope of our training to the Portuguese speaking world.
By spearheading Nova’s geographical expansion into the
Portuguese-speaking economies, Nova Executive Education
has fast become the leading executive education provider
both for those wishing to do business in the Portuguesespeaking economies and for executives in fast-developing
Portuguese-speaking economies wishing to accelerate their
careers and performance.
Our
Initiatives
Apart from the core Executive Education activities, we also
develop programs and content in sector-specific
or geography-specific areas.
HEALTHCARE
MANAGEMENT
Nova Executive Education runs a
yearly program for Senior Executives
in Healthcare, aimed at improving
management and leadership skills in
a sector that currently represents between 8-12% of Portugal’s GDP.
FAMILY BUSINESS

family and the organization, harming
strategy, governance and, ultimately,
profitability. The Nova Family Business Initiative implements a series
of annual activities, from the Family
Business Day, to the Managing the
Family Business Executive Education
program.
Given the international reach and
experience of Nova Executive Education, we currently offer several programs on Doing Business in Europe,
Doing Business in Brazil, and Doing

Africa. These programs are developed
in collaboration with partner schools,
and are usually implemented over a

LISBON…

The school has two campuses:
Campus de Campolide is
housed in a magnificent 19th
century convent set in the
city center, with easy access
to public transport, services
and cultural areas. All preexperience programs are delivered at Campus de Campolide, and therefore Nova’s
students spend a large part of
their day on campus to study,
undertake group assignments
or simply to socialize. The
school has been extended to
meet growing demand, and
comprises lecture halls, study
rooms, a computer center and
catering facilities. The Almada
Negreiros Library is one of the
most recognized in the areas
of Economics and Management, and enables students to

the Campus de Campolide,
the Palacete Henrique de
Mendonça hosts The Lisbon
MBA, Nova Executive Education and the CEMS Office.
From this award-winning
early 20th century building
you can enjoy some of the
most beautiful views the city
has to offer. Equipped with an
Executive Education Training

vast garden, the Palacete offers the perfect setting for
students to develop their
managerial skills.
Both campuses are located
in the center of Lisbon, one
of Europe’s most captivating
capitals with a character and
atmosphere like no other.
With two million inhabitants, Lisbon is the center of Portuguese culture, business and politics, and offers the perfect
opportunity to study Economics, Finance and Management.

Mild winters and long summers provide the conditions to
enjoy all that is on offer and make the practice of activities
such as surfing, windsurfing and body boarding possible all
year long.
Lisbon is both a richly historic and forward-looking city, endowed with unique natural beauty and fascinating tourist attractions, which are intensified by the center and surrounding region’s diversity and quality.
Studying in Lisbon enables you to develop a personal and
professional network, representing the stepping stone to
new contacts and opportunities throughout Europe. Portuguese is spoken by more than 250 million people in the
world, and the business relationships between Portugal,
sub-Saharan Africa and Brazil are particularly strong. Considered the gateway to these regions and also a central capital with easy access to the rest of the world, Lisbon plays
an increasingly important role within Europe and worldwide.
Here you will find true diversity and integration between the
monuments, beaches, countryside and areas of historical interest, all within a few kilometers from the heart of the city.
These will provide an incredible backdrop for your studies
