Sumario:Considering the recent operation of the first professional doctorates in Biotechnology (PDBs) in Brazil, starting in 2019, and the Brazilian government's efforts to boost priority areas for the country's scientific and technological development, this article aims to identify whether PDBs are courses commonly offered by the main universities in the world and analyze the trends of this type of doctorate in World-Class Universities (WCUs), using as analytical indicators: countries of origin, name of the course, objectives, areas of concentration, admission criteria, prerequisites, time for completion, financing and partnerships. This is an exploratory, analytical-descriptive, bibliographic and documentary study that could potentially support the expansion of PDBs in Brazil. Among other trends, the study demonstrated a reduced number of PDBs among the WCUs researched and showed that PDBs are a type of doctoral training of relatively recent creation worldwide.
