Faculdade de Economia da Universidade Nova de Lisboa

Founded in 1978, the Faculdade de Economia of the Universidade Nova de Lisboa leads Portugal in the teaching and research of Economics and Business Administration disciplines. Conceived with a spirit of innovation, its principles are modeled on those of American universities, where a great many of its professors obtained their doctoral degrees.

From the outset, the Faculdade has worked hand-in-hand with the local community. Through its many programs it has trained a multitude of leaders who now hold prominent positions in business and government institutions. The school has also contributed to professional training through its Executive Training Institute - Nova Forum. Nova Forum offers general and specific curricula designed to meet the immediate and imagined future needs of the business community. The Faculdade also provides economic studies and consulting services through its offices of GANEC (Economic Analysis Office) and GEGE (Business Management and Research Center).

The success of the School can be easily traced to certain characteristics that make NOVA unique among Portuguese educational institutions: internationalization, student advising, and customized curricula.
