Organization
NOVA, as well as its units, enjoys scientific, academic and administrative autonomy and, as a state institution, is mainly funded by the Portuguese Ministry of Education.
In 2005, the University had about 14,000 students, including 12,000 undergraduate and 2,000 graduate; about 57% are women and 4% are foreign students. It offers 32 undergraduate programs and 57 graduate programs.
NOVA is not confined to one single campus. Its five faculties and four university institutes are located in various sites in and outside Lisbon. The buildings for the Faculty of Human and Social Sciences, Faculty of Medical Sciences, Faculty of Economics, Faculty of Law, Institute for Statistics and Information Management, Institute of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine, School of Public Health and the Rectory, are located in several places in the city of Lisbon.
Whereas, the Faculty of Sciences and Technology is located in a large campus a few kilometers away from Lisbon on the south side of the Tagus river at Monte de Caparica and the Institute for Chemical and Biological Technology is also only a few miles away from the capital at Almada.
The Welfare Students Services are located near the Rectory and supervise financial aid to the students, four faculty canteens and four university residences.
