Viticulture is of primordial importance in Portugal, due to its excellent potential for producing quality wines. In order to nurture the development of this vital industry, we must stimulate the flow of expertise by training highly specialised technicians as, in fact, the professionals in the sector are demanding. This degree answers that call. Thus, it proposes to provide the theoretical knowledge needed in order to generate solid solutions whilst also fomenting a climate of dialog between teachers and students. This climate of openness should extend to the organisation of seminars for other professionals in addition to students who might take immediate advantage of the exchange of information that we hope to encourage.
