PhD in Biotechnology

The Faculty of Biotechnology (ESB), Portuguese Catholic University - Porto is a reference of excellence in teaching and research in Biotechnology. The ESB PhD in Biotechnology, with four specializations - Food Science and Engineering, Environmental Sciences and Engineering, Microbiology and Chemistry, was created in 1990.  Over more than 20 years, the PhD programme in Biotechnology has prepared many highly qualified experts, who are currently working in various academic and R&D institutions or in the business sector, in Portugal or abroad. The distinguishing assets of this programme are clear from its beginning, which is fully accredited by A3ES for the maximum period of 5 years, making it the best programme in Biotechnology within the national offer available.

In a demanding environment and with increased difficulty, ESB will continue to work more and more in the frontier of knowledge in each of its areas of expertise. Only then will we achieve the highest ambition of a university: that our students are in the future better than their teachers.
