Earn your PhD in Health and Human Physiology
The PhD program in HHP is based on the concept that the successful candidate should have:
- A basic general knowledge of all areas related to health promotion and human physiology
- A strong working knowledge of the research techniques that may appropriately be applied to problems in health promotion and human physiology
- An in-depth theoretical and practical knowledge in at least one specialized area in the fields of health promotion and/or human physiology
By closely working together with an individual mentor, PhD students will also obtain training in the general areas of grantsmanship, oral and written communication of scientific research data in the form of journal articles and presentations at scientific conferences, and teaching.
Thus, the PhD program in HHP will prepare students for a successful career in academic and non-academic settings.
