Program

The ECTS credits attributed to this UC can be accumulated over the first 3 semesters of the doctoral program and obtained through :

• Attendance of advanced courses accepted by the PRODEB scientific committee. The ECTS to be awarded are established by the SC, unless these courses have pre-assigned ECTS. These advanced courses can take place at U.Porto or at any other university or national or international organization provided they have high scientific standards.


• Realization of  scientific communications:
  - Presentation in the respective group or laboratory - 2 ECTs
  - National presentations and posters at international meetings - 3 ECTS
  - Oral presentations at international congresses - 4 ECTS.

Each student can accumulate the respective ECTS through the combination of actions they want within the fixed limits, thus adjusting the UC to his/her interests.
