"I chose NOVA FCT for its reputation for excellence in Science, Engineering and Technology, as well as for the opportunities in research. The Master's curricular structure is well balanced between the theoretical and practical components, allowing for solid and comprehensive training. The body The teacher is highly qualified and accessible, providing a stimulating learning environment. I recommend NOVA FCT for the quality of teaching, infrastructure and the network of professional contacts that facilitate entry into the job market".
PhD in Agroindustrial Technologies 2023
“This master's degree stands out for allowing the acquisition and consolidation of knowledge in different aspects of the agro-industrial area, but at the same time for contact with companies in the sector. Additionally, an internship period stands out, which provides students with prior experience in the area valued when entering the job market. The availability of the entire teaching staff, along with excellent support not only during classes, but when providing guidance in the choice and course of the internship, is an extremely relevant feature. For all these reasons, it was also NOVA FCT that I chose to pursue my PhD in Agroindustrial Technologies”.
Student, 2023
“NOVA FCT was my first choice. At a curricular level, the course is quite diverse and has many partnerships with companies in the area, which allows you to listen to technicians with extensive experience and carry out internships, among other things. The family environment and the availability of professors made me feel supported and motivated, which made my journey through college even better.”
The Master in Agro-industrial Production and Transformation Technologies has collaborated since its inception with companies in the agro-industrial sector, allowing students to carry out their dissertation work in these institutions.
The Department of Earth Sciences (DCT) at NOVA FCT constitutes a graduate, postgraduate and research teaching unit, currently organized into 3 scientific areas: Geology, Geological Engineering and Agroindustry.
