Applications to ITQB NOVA Master Programmes are open!
Applications to ITQB NOVA four Master Programmes are open. Our Masters are developed with the best partners in each field, and a hands-on approach that allows students to learn from researchers who are breaking new ground every day. Thesis are carried out in state of the art laboratories, side by side with multidisciplinary and multinational scientific teams. International students will feel right at home, as most programmes are taught in English whenever non-Portuguese speakers are attending.
Our students benefit from our multidisciplinary approach, learning tools that go beyond their fields, such as how to better communicate their science, prepare a grant application and support technology transfer to industry. Our warm yet competitive environment allows for personalised accompaniment, to help each student find their own path in industry or academia. The scientific coordinators and faculty of each course are eager to discuss potential research topics with prospective students. Take a look at our programmes and let us know if you’d like to visit our labs or talk to our researchers.
The Master in Biotechnology for Sustainability prepares students to contribute to the paradigm shift essential to achieve a bio-economy based on sustainable use of resources — the only way to achieve the social and sustainable development of the country and the planet. Students benefit from lab-rotations that allow them to further explore their research interests. Graduates can follow career paths in the Biotechnological industry, the public administration and regulatory sector or in Research and Development. This Master Course is coordinated by ITQB NOVA with the collaboration of iBET, INIAV, IGC, INSA, NOVA-SBE and CEBAL. Applications for 2019/2020 are open until 12 July (1st phase) and from 19 August to 6 September (2nd phase – remaining places).
The Master Programme in Biochemistry for Health provides a critical and analytical perspective of Human Health from a Biochemical point of view. The course discusses multidisciplinary areas of research and development in several sectors of industry and services related to Human Health, including Pharmaceutical Industry, Clinical Analysis, and Biotechnology. Thesis can be developed in Portugal or abroad, within research labs at any of the NOVA schools, other institutions or in a company. Graduates can explore career paths in the Pharmaceutical Industry, Medical Laboratories, Public Health, the public administration and regulatory sectors or in Research and Development in the medical and pharmaceutical sectors. The programme is a partnership between FCT NOVA, NOVA Medical School and ITQB NOVA. Applications are open until 14 July (1st phase) and from 26-31 August (second phase – remaining places).
The Master Programme in Medical Microbiology trains specialists with a multidisciplinary and global view of the sector. Benefiting from a strong practical component, students will develop skills that will allow them to conduct research, development and innovation on molecular microbiology with emphasis on Medical Microbiology, to apply cutting-edge laboratory and clinical diagnostic technologies and to better link laboratory diagnostics to clinical practice and therapeutic decision, and to pursue an academic career, namely through a PhD degree . The course is co-organized by four institutions within Universidade NOVA de Lisboa: ITQB NOVA, IHMT NOVA, NOVA Medical School and FCT NOVA. Most classes are taught in Portuguese. The 2019/2020 edition is coordinated by FCT NOVA. Applications are open until 15 July.
The Master Programme in Science Communication takes a practical perspective and considers three main communication channels: research institutions, educational institutions, and the media. Students discuss the relations between science and society, scientists responsibility in it and the evolution of the concept of science communication. They learn tools for strategic communication and journalism and get to know successful communication projects. Graduates follow careers paths in journalism, science communication, educational institutions or in other institutional settings. The programme is co-organized by ITQB NOVA and by FCSH NOVA. Applications are open until 21 July.
