Aims: The aim of this doctoral programme is to provide health science professionals in general, and physiotherapists in particular, with the possibility of complementing their training in the field of research. The aim is the writing and defence of a doctoral thesis, in which process the doctoral student will get an extensive professional training in various fields, especially in those that require creativity and innovation. It shall provide skills to cope with contexts with little specific information, to find the key questions that must be answered to solve a complex problem, and to design, create, develop and launch new and innovative projects.
Description:
This doctoral programme is of obvious academic interest since, from the implementation of the degree level to the Physiotherapy degree, graduates have the opportunity to continue their academic training by specialising through the master's degree and finally achieve the doctoral degree through the doctoral programme in Physiotherapy. Likewise, in the scientific-professional field, its relevance is clear, given that, for society, the figure of a professional who not only applies the different tools conferred by Physiotherapy to prevent and treat injuries or pathologies of people, but who is also capable of contributing knowledge to the profession from a scientific and technical point of view, is essential.
