Dual Degree NYU

New York University (NYU) Tandon School of Engineering and Nova School of Business and Economics (Nova SBE) have signed a transfer-credit agreement that provides students with the opportunity to study Management and Management of Technology at both NYU Tandon School of Engineering and Nova SBE. Students will get to experience two exciting campuses and cultures in Brooklyn, NY and Lisbon, Portugal, while forging an international and multidisciplinary network, and earn two master’s degrees from two world-class institutions.

Students attend their first semester at Nova SBE, in the International MScs in Management or in the MScs in Management. They then travel to New York City to embark upon NYU Tandon’s Master of Science program in Management of Technology (MOT) for the next three semesters (one summer semester, plus two academic-year semesters). In the last semester (fourth), the students are to participate in the NYU Capstone experience and the Nova SBE Work Project (with online support from Nova SBE’s supervisor).
