Aims: The aim of the programme is to provide training in Biomedical research using the scientific method and the systematic process of an increasingly multidisciplinary, intersectoral and multi-person research. For this, and to optimise the research activity, doctoral students will be integrated into one of the many and consolidated lines of research and resources of the departments of the Faculty of Medicine and its University Hospitals. The doctoral studies shall guarantee the acquisition of the basic competences established in the Spanish Qualifications Framework for Higher Education.

Description: Biomedical research is a crucial element for human health because it will allow to obtain new knowledge for improving the prevention and diagnosis of diseases, as well as a greater certainty in the application of drugs and therapies and an increased efficiency in the use of health resources. The Doctoral Programme represents an appropriate way to train new researchers in the field of Medicine, as a logical continuation of the current undergraduate degrees in Medicine that allows them to join the research lines of the faculty’s departments. Also, after the proper levelling, other graduates in Sciences and Health Sciences who whish to obtain the doctoral qualification will be able to access to the doctoral programme.
