The doctoral study program Veterinary Public Health, Forensic Veterinary Medicine and Toxicology is an academically focused study program, corresponding to the current state and level of science and the needs of practice in Europe. Graduates of the doctoral study Veterinary Public Health, Forensic Veterinary Medicine and Toxicology gained in-depth theoretical knowledge and practical skills acquired through independent creative activity and the acquisition of new scientific knowledge in the field of study. Graduates can actively share their knowledge in the field of study at the international level and publicly. Based on this qualification, graduates are mainly employed at research institutions and universities.

The doctoral study program "Preventive medicine and epidemiology" is using the principles of evidence-based medicine to assess the impact of various factors (physical, chemical, environmental, biological) on human health at the individual as well as the population level in order to identify possible approaches for prevention. The program integrates knowledge and approaches originating from the fields of toxicology, molecular biology, immunology including clinically-oriented disciplines. The program represents a theoretical basis for preventive disciplines in medicine, e.g. public health, epidemiology, and biostatistics. The program is carried out without any specialization.

The doctoral program of the Department of Periodontology at Cyprus Health and Social Sciences University, offered by the Institute of Graduate Studies and Research, aims to train dentists who have been trained with contemporary and international opportunities, who prepare the most appropriate periodontological treatment plan for hard and soft dental tissue losses, who have advanced periodontology knowledge, and who keep up with current developments. The periodontology doctoral program prepares dentists to deliver advanced health services to society, as well as to plan and perform unique research.

History of medicine is an interdisciplinary field concerned with the history of medical science, history of particular specialties and their representatives, history of the medical profession and development of medical thought, history of training of health professionals, history of public health and health care facilities, incidence and alterations of disease entities as well as their treatment. At medical schools of universities in the world, the history of medicine has had a century-lasting tradition. The Institute for History of Medicine and Foreign Languages (thereinafter “Institute”) of Charles University – the First Faculty of Medicine, one of the first in Europe, has been active at the oldest medical faculty in Czechia since 1920. Studies in this program enable graduates of faculties of medicine and natural science as well as of various humanitarian fields to achieve the highest specialized education in this discipline. The Institute, which is the only in this specialty, is the central coordinating institution for the education of Ph.D. students of the history of medicine for other university schools in Prague and nationwide. According to article 3, paragraph 1, second sentence of the Code of Admission Procedure of Charles University, this program of study is offered without specialization.

The doctoral program in Translational Medicine trains researchers to bridge the gap between laboratory and clinical sciences, facilitating translational research. Objectives include understanding biological structures, applying diagnostic and therapeutic interventions, fostering interdisciplinary collaboration, and addressing ethical implications.

Students of the study program internal diseases must learn during the study the basic scientific principles: literature research preparation, the optimal choice of groups of patients or the experimental groups, get to know some diagnostic methods (laboratory, immunoanalytical, imaging). Work topics will include etiopathogenesis of the cardiovascular diseases, cancer diseases, endocrinology diseases, diagnostics and therapy of acute conditions in internal medicine, and the issues related to the vitally essential organs and function replacement. Study program without specialization.

A doctoral degree is a postgraduate qualification of at least 360 credits at NQF Level 10 and must demonstrate a high level of research capability and it must make a significant and original academic contribution at the knowledge frontiers of a discipline or field. The work must be of a quality to satisfy peer review consideration and merit publication. It requires a candidate to undertake research at the most advanced academic levels, requiring a high level of theoretical engagement and intellectual and research independence, culminating in the submission, assessment and acceptance of a thesis; as well as the submission of proof of acceptance of a first-author research article for publication issued by an accredited journal. The project should be sufficient to generate at least three research articles.

A PhD student must:

MSc (Plant Science) degree or MSc (Medicinal Plant Science) or relevant master's degree

The Doctor of Philosophy (PhD) is the highest degree offered by the University of Otago. It is awarded on the submission of a thesis which must meet rigorous standards. It requires highly developed academic ability, independence and perseverance. Most students take between 3-4 years of full-time study to complete their PhD.

Biomedical research is vital for improving disease prevention and treatment. At Duke-NUS, we offer some of the top Ph.D. programs in Asia with various research focuses. Our vision is for our Ph.D. graduates to become experts in the biomedical and clinical sciences, driven by the desire and curiosity to seek answers to biological questions, potentially leading to new and better treatments.

The PhD in Medicine, Dentistry and Biomedical Sciences trains ~350 postgraduate research students undertaking PhD, MD, and MPhil degrees in Cancer Research and Cell Biology, Experimental Medicine, Public Health, Medical Education, and Dentistry each year. Its diverse postgraduate student population comprises both basic and clinical scientists from across the globe engaged in wide-ranging research projects spanning the breadth of the School’s research portfolio from traditional population-based epidemiology to 'big data' science and bioinformatics, through molecular and cell biology to clinical trials.

The Centre for Regenerative Medicine and Devices focuses its medical research expertise on major clinical conditions and developing treatments. Our research brings deep scientific knowledge, allowing breakthrough innovation across clinical applications and key enabling technologies, as well as developing the role of public and patient participation.

The Clinical MD programme is specially designed for overseas, early-career medical practitioners who wish to undertake a substantial course of individual research and develop clinical skills related to general internal medicine. It will provide you with the recognition required to become a specialist in general internal medicine in your home country. You'll undertake an individual research project on novel medical or healthcare delivery combined with related studies in general internal medicine supported by clinical placements at local NHS hospital sites. The duration of the programme is of 27 months, with a flexible starting date with two intakes per year. All applicants have the option to be considered by the General Medical Council (GMC) for full registration with sponsorship. To be eligible for this option, applicants will undertake a two-week foundation training programme at an NHS hospital that provides clinical placement for the programme. Additional entry requirements and fees apply.

The Genomic Medicine program provides an outstanding research environment for studying genomic medicine principles and practice, including genetics, genomics, proteomics, drug discovery, pharmacogenomics, and computational data analysis.
