two halves; and in each one of them, different short-courses are offered. For information on the Courses
offered please check the table in the beginning of this handbook.
All information on courses is available on the course Syllabus (Professors contacts, Course Aims and
Contents, Teaching and Learning Methods, Assessment and Bibliography). The Syllabi are available on
Moodle.
Mastering your Own CareerWorth 2 ECTS, includes the Discovery Week and a short course taken on the Fall or Spring semester. The
half semester course is designed to help Masters Students on their path to conquer their preferred job
position upon graduation.
Professional Development Modules
The Modules are divided in 4 areas and the students must approve 1 module of each area.
Each Module is worth 0.5 ects and is evaluated on a Pass / Fail scheme.
VII.2 Curriculum Tracks
Given the diversity of backgrounds accepted at the Nova SBE Masters, three curriculum tracks have been
set up:Beginner / Accelerating,Standard / Growingand Advanced / Specialist.
Students are allotted to these tracks according to the following criteria:
Beginner / Accelerating - Students with limited background in Mathematics, Economics and Business.
Standard / Growing - Students with background in Mathematics, but no undergraduate degree in
Economics or Business.
Advanced / Specialist - Students with undergraduate degrees in Economics or Business (For the MSc
Economics, an undergraduate degree in Economics is required). Only candidates of this track will be
admitted for entrance in the Spring Semester.
Before enrolment, students will receive an email with information about their curriculum track. Students are
strongly advised to confirm that this track makes sense to them given their profile and the courses taken in
their Undergraduate Degree. Students should contact the Masters Office before September, if they have
concerns about their curriculum track. There will be no reassessment of curriculum track after the enrolment
period.
If you are a student in the Advanced / SpecialistTrack please move to section Academic Pillar.
VII.3 Bridging courses
If you have been assigned to the Beginner / Accelerating or Standard / Growing tracks you must undertakeBridging Courses. Courses offered only in the beginning of the Academic Year.
7/21/2019 Masters Students HB 2014-2015 - Msc Management updated Nov 2014.pdf
37/90
Updated Nov 2014
36
These courses are designed for students with limited background in the fields of Economics, Mathematics
or Business, and help them to keep up with their peers with undergraduate degrees in these fields. Bridging
courses earn no credits for the completion of the Masters and are graded on a pass/fail basis.
Some bridging courses are offered before the term begins (pre-season). These courses are on-campus and
end with an Assessment Test.
VII.4 Academic Pillar
The academic pillar unfolds in the first two semesters and includes mandatory and elective courses.
VII.4.i Mandatory Courses
Required courses cover basic knowledge and some of them are required background for specific electives.
Students must undertake the required courses, more generally, at the beginning of their Masters.
Note that some Mandatory Courses are only offered in the Fall semester and the Masters Office cannotguarantee vacancies in those courses for students that fail. This situation may lead students to do
mandatory courses in the WP semester, which is not advisable.
VII.4.ii Waivers
Students may ask for a waiver before the deadline for waiver requests, if they consider they have covered
the respective contents in a previous Masters program.
Waiving a mandatory course which has previously not been sufficiently covered, may create difficulties in
following-up some electives. For this reason, the school will be very strict when granting waivers to requiredcourses. If a waiver is granted the school suggests a more advanced course on the topic if available.
For students accepted in the Masters in Management, the Masters Office will automatically grant a waiver to
Marketing Management, if students have approved courses in the area of Marketing in the Undergraduate.
These students will take Advanced Marketing.
If a student waives a required course, he/she will not earn the respective credits . The waiver of a
course will not affect the total number of credits required to complete the Masters.
Waived courses must be replaced in order to ensure that the number of credit requirements is satisfied.
No student will be allowed to graduate unless they have passed or waived all the required courses
in their Masters curriculum.
There is no procedure to earn credits for courses or modules undertaken in other programs and/or
academic institutions.

Procedure to Request a waiver:
To request a waiver, students MUST submit a Waiver Request Form. This form is available in Moodle. It
can also be requested to the Masters Office ([email protected]).
When submitting a waiver request, students must submit valid information about the course(s) (e.g.syllabus, course contents, website, grades), in order to justify the waiver. No Waiver Request will be
accepted with this information missing.
It is strongly recommended that students request waivers as early as possible.
All requests received before Waiver Request Deadline will have a final decision communicated to students
before the enrolment period (allowing students to register in an additional course within the enrolment credit
limit).
Students submitting waiver requests after the Waiver Request Deadline will not be able to replace the
course during enrolment. This situation may prevent students from completing the program in 3 semesters.

VII.4.iv Electives
Electives on offer in the Nova SBE Masters are divided into three Areas: Economics, Finance and
Management. Some electives belong to more than one Area.
Students are allowed to take a maximum of 7 ECTS, and no more than 7 ECTS, in electives on areas
outside their Mastersprogram.
A Mandatory Background
When choosing an elective, and in order to succeed, students must have some background in the subject
matter. Hence students are required to have attended mandatory background courses in order to enroll in
some courses. Please check the list for mandatory background courses.
Students that have not attended the mandatory background courses outlined in that list, but believe they
have equivalent knowledge, must contact the instructor of the course to obtain their approval in due time
(within the period given for enrolment changes).
VII.4.v Majors
A Major is an area of specialization of the Master. It conveys to potential employers the notion of the
students preferences and competences.
In order to qualify for a Major, students must ensure they have satisfied the following requirements:
- Obtain at least 21 ECTS in courses belonging to the Major.
- The student must approve all the core courses indicated for the major and the necessary electives
belonging to the Major so that the core + the electives sum at least 21 ECTS.
Students that started their Masters before 2014/2015 will have the majors with the denomination in use on
their handbook and must satisfy the major requirements indicated there.
Students can qualify for only ONE MAJOR. If they satisfy the requirement for more than one major, they
must choose one of them to be mentioned in the Masters Completion Certificate.
It is not mandatory for students to choose a major and they can simply graduate in their respective
Master without referring to any Major.
Students must request the major on the Masters Completion Certificate Form and are strongly advised to
check in advance if they satisfy the requirements to ask for a Major - Number of ECTS in courses (electives
and core) belonging to the Major.

and accommodation. All students enrolled in the study trips must stay in the hotel suggested in the study
trip agenda.
In order to receive the 0.5 ECTS, the student must present a report (2 pages max) about the experience
abroad. This report must be sent to the Masters Office within the 48 hours after the last day of the trip.
For the report the student can select one of the companies or organizations visited and discuss the key

D Communication and Creativity
In this group the students can take language courses or modules that will challenge them to think out-of-
the-box and to use theseskills to lead their organizations in a future dominated by innovation.
Nova SBE offers the following language courses:
Spanish Language course addressed to Portuguese speakers;Portuguese Language course addressed to other nationalities.
Both courses take place on-campus, last for one semester (30 hours) and are basic level. Students will
have 3 hours per week, with a total of 10 weeks. Attendance is mandatory. Depending on availability,
students will attend the language course during one of the semesters at Nova SBE.
Due to the 2nd
foreign language requirement, the language courses are mandatory for International
Track Students (i.e. Double Degree, CEMS MIM, IMF, Manhattan Project and Outgoing Exchange
Students; students that took a 10 weeks International Internship or students that hold an International
Undergraduate Degree).
International Track Students in the following conditions will get a waiver:
A Certificate in any language (besides English and mother tongue) of A2 Level, or above;
A 2ndmother tongue (not English);

mother tongue).
Students that waive the language requirement may earn the 0.5 ECTS in another module of area D or in an
additional academic course.
If students fail the language course at Nova SBE they will not be allowed to enroll again. Therefore, in order
to graduate the students will have to deliver a Certificate in a 2nd foreign language until the end of the
Masters.
The Masters Office will provide additional information on the Professional Development Modules in
beginning of the Fall semester.
