The Master's Degree in Microbiology offers modern and competitive training in microbiology. Its programme focuses on the study of microorganisms, which is essential for understanding the fundamental mechanisms of life and enabling new developments and applications in industrial biotechnology, environmental recovery and energy production, human and animal health, and the food sector.

This is a joint master's degree, taught by a consortium of four schools at the University of Lisbon: Sciences, Instituto Superior Técnico, Medicine, and Veterinary Medicine. This programme thus explores the synergies that have become possible at the new University of Lisbon in terms of teaching, research, and connection to society.
