I couldn't have made a better choice than embarking on my academic journey at NOVA IMS. As an institution, NOVA IMS offers its students top-tier education and equips them with the essential tools to propel future data analysis experts into both the national and international markets. From day one, students are prepared to apply the knowledge gained in theoretical classes into practical applications, fostering a deeper understanding of the subjects and the development of a data-driven mindset. It's also worth noting the mutual support among colleagues and the academic spirit of the NOVA IMS community, which undoubtedly leave a lasting impact on every student.

The specialization in Marketing Intelligence was the reason why I returned to Portugal. What a good decision I made! It is a very complete program, with an initial theoretical approach that allows us to have a framework to roll up our sleeves and ‘get your hands dirty’. Big data becomes something we deal with on a daily basis, to automate the processes of our companies and to work in an interconnected world that facilitates decision-making processes.
After work, I met colleagues from many industries who complemented this knowledge and together we made this journey unforgettable. I made the right choice!
