The purpose of the Doctoral Program in Advanced Biotechnology is to train research professionals in different fields of biotechnology research and to constitute a competitive, homogeneous, well-structured and quality offer of doctoral studies. The aim is to prepare students to be able to complete a theoretical, methodological and research training in the multidisciplinary field of Biotechnology, which materializes in the elaboration and public defense of a complex, original and innovative Doctoral Thesis. The Interuniversity Academic Committee of the doctoral program (CAPD) will be responsible for teaching coordination between the participating universities to achieve the proposed goal. Students must have a related degree and master's degree, so that their doctoral training will be based on specialized seminars, participation in scientific conferences and research stays abroad, as well as in an intense research training aimed at the Doctoral Thesis. In addition to the research groups assigned to the doctoral program, Theses may be carried out in prestigious groups external to UVIGO and the UDC or in associated Research Centers, with the prior authorization of the Academic Committee.
