Testimonials

Cláudia Ranito

CEO and Founder of Medbone

"The Master's Degree in Materials Engineering at NOVA FCT was the most important choice of my career. It allowed me to start my own company where we develop biomaterials that make a difference in people's lives. Our products are applied in the field of orthopedics, dentistry and veterinary, and are already being marketed in 96 countries. This reality was only possible thanks to the right choice of the Master's Degree at NOVA FCT".
