University of Évora

At BSc degree, teaching profile is characterized by a broadened range of disciplines in biology that include knowledge and perspectives at multiple levels of organization of living beings, and its study from structural, functional and evolutionary perspective. At MSc degree, relevant issues of management and conservation of biological resources are discussed to aid the student solve nature conservation problems. Our goal is a student-centered learning, qualifying toward communication of scientific ideas and development of their scientific literacy skills.

The Department is involved in national and international research projects in the wide range of areas, e.g. Plant and Animal Biology, Microbiology, Molecular Biology, Marine Biology, Conservation and Natural Resources Biology and Human Biology and Health. The department relays on the participation of researchers and research fellows in research activities. Teachers and researchers are integrated in several Research Centres of the University of Évora or of other institutions. Academic staff participates in both teaching and research activities.

Zoology

Biological component includes knowledge in multiple levels of organization of living beings, from molecules to ecosystems. The sense of multidisciplinary and complementarity is reinforced with other areas of knowledge. As a result, multi-faceted professionals can join a fast-evolving labour market, or to successfully engage in advanced training programs either in our University or abroad. Ease of access to excellent logistic resources for Biology teaching (Mitra and Sines facilities), is a distinctive feature of the degree.

1.Offer a broad understanding on the relevant issues of management and conservation of biological resources; 2. Provide scientific knowledge and tools for answering problems in nature conservation; 3. Inspire an ecosystem approach to solve nature conservation problems balancing ecological interests and social welfares. Mitra campus is a mark of MBC due to excellent logistics. Students carry their thesis at Uevora, in other HEI and abroad. Recently, we had a student in Madagascar, and now we have a student collecting data for her thesis on ecology of 2 genet species at RSA.

The research profile core topics include high-performance declarative computing, natural language understanding, information retrieval and legal reasoning, security, cloud computing and control. Application-wise, projects target resource planning and optimisation in health informatics, natural resources and transportation, business intelligence and computer forensics, among others.

Informatics

The MSc program provides the ability to adapt to a variety of new situations, including technological developments and paradigm shifts. Moreover, gives students skills to choose the research path and possibly continue to a PhD in Computer Science or to enter the job market. The MSc program has a strong component in Artificial Intelligence and a tight integration with the ongoing research projects that have the participation of the faculty staff.
