Foreign Degrees

STUDENT SELECTION

The Postgraduate Committee is the body responsible for the selection of students.

Two quotas will be established for the selection of applicants: one (with an allocation of, at least, 60% of places) for students who have graduated in the past five years and a second, reserved for those who are professionally active in the agro-alimentary sector and who graduated over five years ago.

The following criteria will be considered in the selection process: academic record; research experience; curriculum content related to biotechnology, nutrition, food science, food microbiology and food technology; links with research work developed in the Department and other merits.
