The PhD Program

The PhD Program covers all aspects of the Translational Medicine (TM) Cycle. The program helps students become critical consumers of medical research papers, collect primary data on health issues through observation and inquiry, and conduct biomedical research. Participants will explore clinical research design—including systematic reviews, patient registries, and clinical trials—by planning an extended project in study groups led by experienced TM Centre faculty members.

Target Audience

• Individuals holding a Master's degree (MSc) in a two-cycle higher education program, as well as students in the final year of medical, dental, pharmaceutical, or other Master's programs who expect to obtain their diploma within six months.
• Good English communication skills are recommended (minimum B2 level – details here).

Please note that this program is specifically designed for international students. Tuition fees apply.
