Biology and Biotechnology of Microorganisms
ADMISSION PROCESS
The admission process usually takes place twice a year: in December, for admission in the first semester, and in July, for admission in the second semester. The selection is open to any candidate with an undergraduate (interested in master’s degree) or master's (interested in Doctorate degree) degree. International applicants need to have proficiency in Portuguese and in English for Specific/Academic Purposes. The applicants are approved per professor and the number of posts available, but they are classified in general order for scholarship distribution, prioritizing the best ranked candidates.
Scholarships
The number of scholarships varies from year to year, depending on the availability of funding agencies, so there is no guarantee of scholarships for all accepted applicants. The rules of each selection process are explained in specific calls.
