NOVA School of Law Career Days

Spring Edition

16 April | NOVA School of Law – Human Rights Mural Patio

At NOVA School of Law, we are committed to preparing new generations of professionals with an innovative and multidisciplinary vision, equipping them for an increasingly global and demanding market where diverse skills are essential.

The Career Days are one of the initiatives that embody this commitment — a unique meeting place between talent and leading employers, allowing students to make crucial contacts for their professional future and organisations to find candidates that match their strategic needs.

The Home of Talent

The success of recent editions has firmly established the event as a prime meeting place for talent and opportunities. Encouraged by this, we are repeating the experience with two distinct events.

The first moment will take place in April and focus specifically on summer internships, providing students with a valuable opportunity to gain professional experience during the holidays. The event will also include other initiatives, such as workshops to prepare students for the job market, as well as a volunteering fair to foster contact with organisations and encourage civic and social engagement.

The first of these, which is specifically dedicated to summer internships and other opportunities during the holiday period, will take place in April.

In a relaxed setting conducive to dialogue, partner organisations will present their opportunities and get up close with NOVA School of Law talent. For our students, this is a crucial moment to get to know the job market, initiate professional contacts and make those first steps along their career path.

This edition aims to reinforce NOVA School of Law’s role as a point of contact between excellent education and market needs, promoting transformative experiences for all those involved.

The event will conclude with a cocktail reception, providing an additional opportunity for informal interaction and networking in a relaxed setting. This will allow discussions initiated throughout the event to continue and will strengthen connections among students, alumni and partner organisations.

The year 2025 went as follows...

In a relaxed atmosphere, with summer just around the corner, students and employers once again came together in a space of dialogue, opportunity and networking, reinforcing our commitment to the employability and professional futures of our academic community.

In 2024, the main Career Day event was an unmissable occasion for NOVA School of Law talent to meet with leading recruiters – a day full of exchanges, concrete opportunities and contacts that opened doors to the future.
