Ph.D. in Food Science
 |
The School is actively involved in the PhD course in Food Science, representing the highest point in the training of students in the field of food in our University. This course trains candidates to become researchers, with deep theoretical and practical knowledge and appropriate experimental methodology in the field of food sciences, characteristics needed to face the complex challenges of the area. In many cases, the activities are carried out in strict contact with national and international public and entrepreneurial entities.
