Doctoral Program in Oenology and Biotechnology



General Aims of the Doctorate

The main aim of the doctorate is to produce doctors for high quality and advanced research. To this end, the general aims of the course are the following:

  • To incorporate the students into a research group.
  • To broaden their skills so that they can specialize in different aspects of the lines of research set out in the programme.
  • To strengthen students' initiative in developing research projects with a methodology and scientific principles appropriate to their field of research.
  • To foster general individual and team working abilities, participation in research projects, bibliographical database management, etc.
  • To produce a doctoral thesis.
