ABOUT
Opportunity for advanced studies at UEL/ Master and Doctor in Food Science
The program at UEL was the first in the south region initiated in 1976 with the master degree and in 1993 with the doctoral degree. The ranking of graduated courses by CAPES the program has a grade of 4, in a scale that varies from 1 to 7.
Applicants typically have undergraduate degrees in food engineering, food technology, chemistry, pharmacy, animal science, agronomy and others.
The faculty advises students in various aspects of basic and applied sciences in microbiology, chemistry, biochemistry, sensory analysis, extrusion of carbohydrates and proteins, biodegradable materials and others.
After completion students are prepared to become leaders or part of a research teams focusing in innovation and with technical expertise for government, industries or academy. Graduates will be able to enhance the quality, safety and functionality of foods or ingredients used in the food industry.
TUITION AND FEES
The Program is free of tuition or fees.
FELLOWSHIPS
A limited number of scholarships are available to qualified applicants, in accord to their classification in the selection process.
COURSES LENGTH
Students in the MS and PhD degrees are expected to complete their degree requirements in 4 (four) and 8 (eight) periods (on a full-time basis), being the minimum 2 (two) and 4 (four) periods, respectively.
APPLICATION
Application for admission can be presented by graduated in different areas.
Annually, a maximum of 18 (eighteen) and 14 (fourteen) new students will be accepted for MS and PhD degrees, respectively, depending of the advisors availability.
Candidates will be evaluated by an Admission Committee, concerning knowledge in food science and technology, English proficiency and curriculum vitae.
Master (MS)
