In today's society businesses are becoming increasingly complex. Companies are faced every day with huge amounts of data, generated by endless sources. This reality has created an increasing demand for high skilled professionals in the Information Management field. These experts have to be able to use the latest techniques and analytical tools to support their decision-making processes within the companies.
A degree in Information Management provides students with strong analytical skills in order to collect, organize and analyze data from organizations, translating it into a strategic resource that prompts innovation and competitive advantage, by predicting new market trends and providing informational assets.
The shortage of professionals in this area is significant in Portugal, but also internationally. The McKinsey Global Institute has already predicted that, in 2018, in the US alone, there will be a shortage of about 200,000 skilled workers within the information management area, as well as an additional 1.5 million managers and analysts with expertise in this area.This is why graduates from NOVA IMS are rapidly absorbed by the market, most of them as Data Scientists, which has been recently labeled as the “sexiest” job of the XXI century.

When I recall my path at NOVA IMS, I do so with great nostalgia and pride. By emphasizing the importance of combining the business component to the technological component. NOVA IMS allowed me to acquire the know-how and preparation in order to succeed in what is currently an extremely competitive job market. NOVA IMS instilled in a mentality driven by the demands and rigor, by still giving me a great academic record and good memories, as the friendships made. Among these factors, I also name the many teachers, critical to the success factors to learn!

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." .
