Thank you!
The registration process in the Program to which you were admitted is carried out online, through the Academic Portal NetP@, within the period established for this purpose in the academic calendar, available here, on the page of each program in NOVA IMS’ website.
After creating your personal password to access NOVA IMS’ platforms via a link you will receive in your personal email, after paying the pre-registration fee), you must access NetP@ and take the following steps to formalize your registration/ subscription:
You should consider your Program’s study plan and the number of mandatory and elective course units (and ECTS in question) so that, during the term of your Program, you can comply with the total number of ECTS to be approved, according to the study plan in NOVA IMS' website, in the page of the program in question.
The maximum ECTS limit that Postgraduate, Masters and Doctoral Students can enroll in each semester is 37.5 ECTS. We advise Students to carefully read the NOVA IMS' Student Assessment and Development Regulation [in Portuguese].
It is possible to change classes through the NetP@ during the period established for enrollment, in each semester. Information about the online application period is available here, on the page of each program in NOVA IMS’ website.
If you decide to change class after the defined period, you must contact the Academic Services through the Contact Form.
The possibility of changing the class is conditioned by the number of vacancies in the intended class (destination class), as well as, if there is a vacancy, you must confirm by consulting the stipulated class timetable for your program (available in NOVA IMS’ website, on your program page) whether or not there is an overlap of timetable with another course unit to which you are enrolled.
In case of overlapping timetables between a mandatory course unit and an elective course unit (and if you are unable to choose another class of the desired optional, in another timetable that does not generate an overlap), you should choose another optional course unit that does not overlaps with the mandatory course unit.
The choice of the attendance format (working hours/daytime or after working hours/evening) should be a factor subject to much consideration before applying for a particular program. After admission to a program with a certain frequency format (daytime or after-work), it is not possible to guarantee a change to another format (working hours/daytime or after working hours/evening) since a numerus clausus is defined for program/format. On the other hand, it is not possible to guarantee that there are vacancies available for enrollment in each mandatory course unit of the format to which the student intends to be changed, to the detriment of the format to which the candidate was effectively admitted.
The elective course units to which you can enroll (via NetP@) are those listed in your program’s page, in NOVA IMs’ website, in the “Study Plan” menu. If the course unit you intend to enroll in as an option/elective does not appear in the list of available course units (and therefore will not appear in the class timetable), you will not be able to enroll. It will be an exclusive course unit of another Postgraduate/Master program.
The Tuition Fee is the fee associated with each program and is payable by each student from the moment the enrollment is completed.
The tuition fees to be paid for each program, the payment deadlines and discounts are available in NOVA IMS’ website, on the page of each program, under the menu “Admissions and Fees”.
After registering and enrolling, you will have access to information on values and deadlines for payment of tuition fees in your NetP@ profile, in the menu “Financial Situation” / “Payments”. There you can select each item to pay and generate ATM references for payment.
IIt is not possible to change payment deadlines or amounts through NetP@. Any request for change (such as, for example, changing the method of payment of installments to full payment or applying discounts) must be made through the Academic Services’ Contact Form.
In case of non-compliance with the defined deadlines, you may request a separate payment plan through the Academic Services’ Contact Form.
The tuition fee can be paid by:
Classes start on September 8th, 2025. Please see the academic calendar on the program's website.
Yes, classes are held on-site.
The timetables will be available in NOVA IMS’ website, on the page of each Program, in the "Timetable" menu, one or two months prior to the beginning of the semester - for example: the timetable of the Fall Semester will be available in July and the timetable of the Spring Semester will be available in January. You should consider the classes for enrollment in theoretical and practical classes before the period of registration and enrollment in Netp@. After selecting the course units for the 1st semester, you will also have to select the theoretical classes (TP) and practical classes (P).
All NOVA IMS’ services will be available online and in person. Timetables are available here.
Access to Moodle is carried out through the user information sent by the IT Services. These credentials allow access to all NOVA IMS academic platforms: Moodle, NetP@, Webmail.

Yes, as long as the external course unit is from the same degree as the course unit you intend to credit, i.e., only course units from a master’s degree Program can be credited to a master’s degree Program. It’s not possible to transfer credits from a bachelor’s degree to a master’s degree Program. Accreditation requests must be made to the Academic Services, through the Contact Form, by submitting the following documents:
Since NOVA IMS abides by the emolument table defined by Universidade NOVA de Lisboa, each request will have a different calculated fee, depending on the program and number of ECTS. Accreditations are not automatically granted by making the request and paying the fee. The request is forwarded to the Accreditation Commission and to the Scientific Council and can either be accepted or declined based on their evaluation. In either case, the previously mentioned fee is not refunded.
There is a limit to the number of credits that can be transferred to NOVA IMS:
No. Accreditation requests can only be made based on academic qualifications, and, as such, it is not possible to request accreditation of course units based on professional experience.
Scholarship applications are run by the Social Welfare Services of the Universidade Nova de Lisboa (SAS/NOVA), here.
For Students who have applied for a scholarship, payment of the tuition fee will only take place after the completion of the scholarship process and, if granted, after it is paid. By submitting a confirmation of application to a scholarship, Students can request a suspension of payments until the completion of the process.
For information about financial support, student housing, student sports or health services for Students, you can contact the Social Welfare Services of the Universidade Nova de Lisboa (SAS/NOVA), here.
For health reasons, there are no computers in the classrooms, so Students must bring their own computer. It is possible, in justified cases, to request a computer from NOVA IMS for a long-term loan.

You can request a statement to the Financial Services (for Bachelor’s, Master’s, and Doctoral Students) or the ADNOVAIMS Department (for Postgraduate Students).
