The PhD in Palliative Care is designed for those interested in advancing knowledge and practice in the field. It offers a flexible research program that allows students to explore a wide range of topics related to end-of-life care, symptom management, and improving quality of life for patients with serious illnesses. The program emphasizes independent research, supported by expert guidance, and encourages students to contribute to the development of evidence-based practices in palliative care.

The course provides opportunities for students to engage with real-world challenges in palliative care through extensive literature reviews, data collection, and analysis. Students can tailor their research to specific interests, such as communication, ethics, or service delivery. The program aims to equip students with critical thinking, research skills, and a deep understanding of the complex issues faced in palliative care settings. Graduates are prepared to work in academic, clinical, or policy roles, shaping the future of palliative care practices and policies.
