I am extremely grateful to my student advisor, who supported me throughout my time at Nova SBE. As a student who at times found the program quite challenging, his solution-oriented approach and tailored guidance made a real difference. He had a remarkable ability to help me regain perspective in situations that felt overwhelming. His understanding of how life outside of Nova SBE can be challenging, and the way he helped me tailor my academic career around it has played a huge role in me completing my degree in a better way than I could have imagined. What stayed with me most was the sense that he truly wanted me to succeed, not just academically, but as a person. In my opinion that goes beyond what one could expect of a student advisor, and I will always be grateful for it.

Ingeborg Brevik Marken, alumni from the MSc in Management

My experience in the Master’s in Management, with an Area of Expertise in Entrepreneurship at Noa SBE, has been both incredibly challenging and deeply rewarding. From the very beginning, I knew I was entering one of the best management programs in the country and one of the best globally, and that expectation has not only been met but fully confirmed throughout my journey. At the same time, I took on a second challenge by launching my own business. While this decision made perfect sense in theory, in practice it proved to be extraordinarily demanding. Balancing an intense academic program with the realities of building a company requires a level of discipline, resilience, and personal sacrifice that is difficult to put into words. In this context, the support of the Student Advising team was absolutely crucial. Their guidance, availability, and genuine care made it possible to navigate both paths simultaneously. This type of support, often invisible and at times underappreciated, is in my view one of the key factors behind the success of the program. It deserves to be recognized as such, because it truly makes a difference in the lives and outcomes of students.
