Highlights
The Double Degree in Global Management and Politics with Nova offers students a unique pathway to international management education, featuring a hands-on approach and real-life business cases across various areas of expertise, including product innovation, entrepreneurship, globalization, sustainability, and digital business.
Held on the brand-new campus in Carcavelos, just a few kilometers from Lisbon, Nova SBE offers students the chance to learn in a multicultural environment with students from over thirty different countries and classrooms with stunning ocean views.
The program is structured as follows:
- The first year is spent at Nova SBE (Carcavelos, Lisbon, Portugal);
- The second year is spent at Luiss (Rome).
Students selected for the Double Degree will be registered at Luiss during their time at Nova SBE and will continue to pay tuition fees to Luiss. Students will be exempt from paying tuition fees at Nova SBE.
If participating students comply with both universities’ rules and conditions regarding required credits, attendance, deadlines, academic integrity, and other matters, they will receive two degrees, which will be issued according to each university’s procedures.
