NOVA campus
The city campus of NOVA provides students with countless opportunities for work and recreation — from sitting in a coffee shop with a laptop to internships at large companies. Lisbon has a well developed entertainment infrastructure, but the rhythm of the big city can be distracting for some students. The school has a library where students can do their homework or just relax. NOVA regularly accepts students for international exchange programs, providing both local and international students with the opportunity to come into contact with different cultures and gain unique experience.

What to do after graduation
Portugal allows university graduates to stay in the country for one more year. Graduates can spend this time looking for a job in order to change their visa to a work one. NOVA graduates find jobs quickly, partly because the university has a good reputation among employers according to the QS World University Rankings. You can find other options for immigration in our article.
