I was looking for a degree that would allow me to deepen my knowledge in the areas of management and programming, and NOVA IMS provided me exactly what I was looking for, being able to go even further in my goals and objectives. The Information Management course pushed my boundaries through the model of classes in English, which helped me better understand a foreign language I was not used to, leaving me more confident to enter a broader job market.

When choosing a degree, I did not feel that there was a course that could encompass analytical thinking with open space for debate and abstract thinking at the same time.
Even before finishing high school, I decided to start researching courses and fields of study, so I came across data science. I started researching and felt that it was an area that matched what I was looking for in a course: a strong analytical and socio-economic component.
The question that arises when applying, besides the course, is the university. Why NOVA IMS? From the moment of choice until now, I can't find a more adequate word than excellence.
NOVA IMS is a school that excels in quality, concern and attention to the students. It is a vanguardist college at the scientific, technological and socio-cultural level. The combination of these components makes it a stage for our personal and academic growth and enrichment.

In the last months of high school, I informed myself as much as possible in order to make the right choice in what is one of the most important decisions of our adolescence. I also looked for several testimonials that, right from the start, drew me to NOVA IMS.
NOVA IMS is a prestigious university, excelling in excellence and rigor in teaching. By choosing Information Management, I intended to combine the best of two worlds: the business component and the technological one. I am sure that, at the end of my degree, I will be equipped not only with the technical competences but also with the soft skills necessary to face the current job market with immeasurable advantage, eventually joining a renowned company.
Besides being a faculty focused on constant innovation and evolution, the family atmosphere, the companionship and the close relationship with the professors are unique factors at NOVA IMS that assure me that I made the right choice.

I feel constantly challenged and learning at NOVA IMS because it is a course in English and because of the demanding study plan, where we acquire many technological and entrepreneurial skills, promoting our personal and intellectual growth.
In the practical subjects, such as Computing, we don't need previous knowledge because the teachers provide us with all the necessary tools and bases to enhance our performance.
It's a university that invests in the integration of the student from the very first day, with several activities and initiatives, with the mentoring program or through the participation in the Students Association, of which I am a member.
NOVA IMS invests in the future of students, developing several workshops and projects in partnership with many companies, allowing direct contact with the world of work. It publishes several job proposals throughout the semesters, and students are always up to date with the opportunities.
It is a course of the future, and without a doubt, we feel it. It was the best decision I made.

I discovered NOVA IMS at Futurália, and today I know that I could not have made a better choice. It is a school that excels in teaching excellence, but also because of the demands, and which has provided me with an enriching experience both professionally and personally. I am very proud to say that I am a graduate in Information Management, a course that allows us to combine the best of two worlds: the business component and the technological component, which gives us a huge competitive advantage in the job market. The mutual help of the students and the understanding of the teachers outweigh all the difficulties, giving us a sense of belonging to the community that is NOVA IMS.

Initially, I had some doubts in choosing NOVA IMS. Because it is considered a demanding faculty, I confess that I had some fears of not being able to achieve my goals. However, I realized that it was the right choice. The professors are impeccable, always available and willing to help in any way necessary. The colleagues are fantastic and support us in everything we need. The university has great conditions. I don't regret the decision I made, not even for a second.

With the completion of Secondary Education, there are inevitable and important decisions that affect the fulfillment of our dreams and objectives in the professional scope. After some research, I found NOVA IMS at the Universidade Nova de Lisboa, where all the necessary conditions for the success of my entry into the job market were gathered, a college with enormous business prestige with a course that could combine two areas: Management and technologies. Today, I am sure I could not have made the best choice! The strong practical component, culture of excellence, innovation and requirement have prepared me for the highly competitive professional world, equipping me with all the skills I need to succeed. There is a sentence from Aristotles that for me has always represented NOVA IMS, "We are what we repeatedly do, excellence is therefore not an act, but a habit".
