PhD in Biomedicine and Health Sciences
Before dissertations are presented, Universidad Europea de Madrid requires students who have not previously completed equivalent courses to finish 12 ECTS credits of complementary training in scientific research procedures and methodology in the academic setting. These complementary courses are structured into 4 blocks covering the following material:
- Scientific Methodology and Theory of Knowledge (3 ECTS)
- Data Processing (3 ECTS))
- Research-Associated Resources (3 ECTS)
- Practicum (3 ECTS)
Once the student has successfully completed the stage of pre-dissertation coursework, and after having completed the complementary training in academic research, they may present their dissertation project. When approval of the dissertation is granted, the student can begin carrying out their project. UEM will establish procedures to guarantee the quality of the dissertations, both in their drafting and evaluation processes. When preparing the dissertation, the University will assign the Doctoral candidate an advisor, who may be a physician with accredited research experience. The dissertation may also be co-directed by other physicians.
The dissertation must be an original research project carried out by the student completing their PhD related to the fields of Biomedicine and Health Sciences.
