This three-year cycle of studies was designed for professionals and researchers with advanced training and participation in national and international scientific projects, who aim to convert clinical experience into high-impact scientific evidence. The programme operates at the frontier of health knowledge, within a demanding and innovative academic environment, strongly oriented towards the production of knowledge with a real impact on professional practice.
The programme distinguishes itself through its direct integration into the Center for Rehabilitation Research (CIR), a unit rated as "Very Good" by the FCT (Foundation for Science and Technology). This allows doctoral students access to laboratories with state-of-the-art technologies, funded research projects, and a structured connection to international collaboration networks.
The faculty consists of researchers with a strong track record in national and international networks, ensuring rigorous supervision and enabling relevant research and publications in highly renowned journals.
The first phase of applications is scheduled to begin in March, with further details to be announced shortly through institutional channels.
The tuition fee is 2,000 euros for the first year and 1,500 euros for subsequent years.
More than an academic degree, this PhD offers the scientific authority necessary to lead and define the future of Rehabilitation Sciences.
