Instructions for filling in the application form
Step 1: About you

When you first enter the online application, you need to fill in your personal details,
including your contacts, permanent address and ID/Passport Number. This information
will create your official record in our student information system. Please complete all
appropriate information carefully as you would like it to appear on your official
university records.
If you are a Nova SBE undergraduate student, please indicate your Institutional
Number (the number that you have in your institutional email). This information is
used to check your transcript of grades and to prevent duplication of computer records.
After submitting this first step, you will receive an email with a link to define your
password to access your application form and your application ID (this ID is also
available on the tip of your application form).

any time.
Step 2: Program Application

program name, university of undergraduate studies, current grade point average (GPA)

only to apply to one Master’s (Master’s in Management).
In the Spring intake it isn’t possible to apply to a workstream and/or to the area of
expertise in Hospitality & Service Management.
Step 3: Other Qualifications & Languages

If you do not have an English certificate, you must indicate your language skills using the
Common European Framework of Reference for Languages (CEFR). You can declare the
features of your proficiency in the English language by indicating the test scores or
certificates you have earned, or coursework you have successfully completed. If none,
describe international experiences, courses or features that prove your English
proficiency.
“For students pursuing one of the International programs, NOVA SBE requires
proficiency in 2 languages besides the mother tongue”? Yes, it is. Nova SBE assumed they
speak their native language at a native level, English at C1 level, minimum, as well as and
additional foreign language at B1 level according to the CEFR.
If you have two native languages, you will be required to sign a bilingual honor
statement. You should request your bilingual honor statement to the Student
Recruitment & Admissions Office.
At this stage, you will be asked about whether you have any internship experiences, what
company and the function/role you have had. The Admissions Committee, along with
your CV and additional documents, will analyze this information very carefully.
Step 4: Scholarships
