The Master's in Precision Agriculture Technologies is jointly offered by NOVA FCT and the University of Évora. The first semester takes place at NOVA FCT, and the second semester is held at the University of Évora.
This Master’s program offers a highly distinctive competitive advantage, diverging from traditional training by combining technical and scientific expertise with technological innovation. The application of these skills to the agricultural sector provides an effective response to the industry's new demands, promoting efficient and environmentally sustainable processes that support high levels of agricultural profitability.
The Master's in Precision Agriculture Technologies stands out from other programs in the Agronomy field, as it focuses on the application of innovative technologies in conventional and conservation agriculture; the use of digital tools for efficient and sustainable farm management; and the application of cultivation techniques in extreme climatic conditions with optimized use of natural resources (soil and water).
These scholarships, worth 450 euros, are available to all students from the School or other Higher Education Institutions who are applying for the first time to the first year of a Master’s programme at NOVA FCT and have a final undergraduate grade of 15 or higher.
