Health Sciences

Education objectives

This program plans to train a new generation of
researchers and non-physicians with a comprehensiv e perspective on health science
research, encouraging multidisciplinarity and promoting projects of scientific and
technical merit. The student will be encouraged to identify research areas with higher
scientific, technological and impact potential. In methodological terms, the student
must be able to identify a research and conceptualize and elaborate a proposal of
research project, innovative and competitive, according to the most demanding scientific
quality standards, integrating consistently the experimental methodologies that best
respond to the scientific issues raised. During the course of study, the student will
also be trained to evaluate and discuss other projects in this area, completing their
scientific training as well as consolidating their capabilities as a peer-reviewer,
another essential competence in research activity.
