The doctoral study programme HEALTH SCIENCES is the first accredited third-level program in Slovenia, which is primarily aimed at developing the careers of graduate nurses and other professionals in healthcare. It is an interdisciplinary upgrade of the first-level study programmes Nursing Care and Physiotherapy and the master's study programmes Education and Management in Healthcare, Nursing Care and Physiotherapy.
The development of the study programme of the third degree in Health Sciences is connected to the needs of interdisciplinary experts who, in addition to in-depth knowledge of the basic field (health or physiotherapy), also have knowledge of education, management and prevention, and demonstrate competence for scientific research work, expert decision-making and the implementation of decisions made in clinical or other related professional environments.
The programme has been implemented since the academic year 2016/2017 as a part-time study.
