PhD in Advanced Biotechnology
PhD in Advanced Biotechnology
Interuniversity Programme, shared by the University of A Coruña and University of Vigo
The doctorate program in Advanced Biotechnology aim to train professional researchers in several fields of biotechnological research and make up a competitive, homogeneous, well structured and high quality offer. The main objective is to prepare students to be able to complete a theoretical, methodological and investigatory training in multidisciplinary Biotechnology, which eventually lead to the elaboration and public defence of a complex, original, and innovative doctoral thesis.
Our Differential Value in the Faculty of Sciences of the University of A Coruña
Why study this programme?
Innovation is essential in both environmental and industrial biotechnology for sustainable production of products (chemicals, fuels, etc.) and enable novel bioprocesses. The Advanced Biotechnology doctorate program provides original research in the biotechnology field.
