Doctorate

Doctorate (until 2016)

 

The initial evolution of the pedagogical proposal of the Academic Master's course and the initial proposal of the Doctorate course of the Program are presented in the article Rocha et al. 2007 (Post-graduation in ecology at the UFBA Institute of Biology: an evolving curriculum. RBPG 4 (8): 227-244).

 

The Doctorate in Ecology course has a single area of concentration (Ecology) to which six lines of research are associated: ecophysiology and animal behavior; Ecology of populations and communities; Ecology of interactions; Ecotoxicology and biomonitoring; Epistemology, ecological theory and teaching; And ecology applied to environmental management.

 

To fulfill its objectives and contribute to the desired formation of the graduates profile (see "Objectives" above), the Doctoral course has a specific grid of activities.

 

Curricular structure in use:

 

In the admission examination, the PhD candidates present their thesis proposal, including the relevance of the project objective and the methodology that will be used for its development. During the four years of the course, they must complete four compulsory subjects, some teaching and the qualification examination and 153 hours in elective courses.

 

Compulsory subjects include "Scientific Communication", "History and Philosophy of Sciences Applied to Ecology", "Advanced Topics in Ecological Data Analysis" and "Project Presentation Seminars".

 

Update of the course's pedagogical project

 

The pedagogical project of the Doctoral course underwent an update that is currently under evaluation by UFBA and CAPES. This new pedagogical project should be implemented in 2017. Access the new pedagogical projects link.
