The aim of the program is to prepare PhD
candidates for research study and activity in
order to mature and develop research
protocols on a documented and scientific
basis. The language of the doctoral thesis will
be English and the duration of the program is
set at three years, the minimum, and no
tuition fees are provided. The program is full

education and its applications.
The program will provide the opportunity for
PhD candidates to develop their research
knowledge and develop their scientific
thinking to write articles that will lead to
innovative solutions, emerging from clinical
research in health care issues. In addition, it
will aim to provide PhD candidates with
research skills, critical thinking, the ability to
apply evidence to practice, and the ability to
synthesize ideas and theories. This specific
program will prepare graduate students to
implement effective, safe, and innovative
research in a variety of settings, and for
multiple and diverse needs. The ultimate goal
is for doctoral students to develop the skills of
evaluating research results and empirical
data, to acquire possibilities of studying the
application of research and reflective issues
in their scientific – professional field and to
develop knowledge of planning and
conducting research in the field of Health and
Care.
