Advanced Courses (October through March). The courses, usually one week-long, are taught by international leading scientists in collaboration with local investigators. The course work of the programme aims at providing the graduate students with the concepts, experimental approaches, and current problems of modern cellular and molecular biology.
Seminars (Attendance to the weekly seminars of CNC.
Research work leading to the doctoral thesis. A written research proposal describing the intended thesis project must be defined during the first year. The final doctoral thesis will be evaluated before a faculty committee, upon an oral defense. The examination evaluates the student's ability to master a body of background material, to organize a plan of research, and to understand the context, aims, methods and limitations of the proposed research.
The students who choose to do their doctorate at the Faculty of Science and Technology of the University of Coimbra may have the advanced courses credited as disciplines G200 through G300, seminars as G400, and research as G500.
