University of Évora

The Department is responsible for a BA in Biology, a BA in Human Biology, a MSc in Conservation Biology and a PhD in Biology. Beyond these degrees, the department is also engaged in the teaching of many disciplines that are part of other degrees (BAs, post-graduations, MScs and PhDs) either from University of Évora or in consortium with other universities.

The Department of Biology carries out its research activities under the scope of Plant Biology, Animal Biology, Microbiology, Molecular Biology, Environmental Biology, Marine Biology, Conservation Biology and Natural Resources, and Human Biology. The Department leads and participates in national and international research projects. In addition to the staff of the Department, research projects involve participation of MSc, PhD and Post-doc students.

Conservation Biology, Microbiology, Human Biology

An highly qualified staff develops research in well-equipped laboratories and in close connection with the subjects taught, as attested by the level of publications and collaborations. An inestimable asset for Biology teaching is the availability of excellent logistic resources, and the possibility of having theoretical and practical classes in diverse locations. The study program provides a good basic formation in core skills, so that completed the 1st cycle, students can get in work market or choose several areas of expertise and pursuit their studies, even outside biology area.
