The Doctorate in Health Research programme was created at the University of Vigo with the aim of providing researchers and professionals in the field with high-quality training in areas of particular relevance to healthcare. This programme was created to respond to a series of training, scientific and research needs identified in the Galician University System (SUG). The Doctoral Programme promotes postgraduate studies and research training for students in the field of Health Sciences.
It is the first programme at the University of Vigo to welcome Health Sciences graduates who wish to continue their higher education. It is also directly related to master’s degrees already taught at the University, promoting translational research and innovation in the field of healthcare, thus ensuring the effective application of research results in terms of benefits for public health.
