Longevity Studies enables a better understanding of the interfaces and challenges of prolongation of human life (longevity). It fosters further understanding and finding of appropriate answers and solutions of theoretical, applied, and ethical contexts of longevity. It reflects not only current demographic changes of population (such as gerontology), but also reflects the fact that nowadays people with severe disabilities, chronic illnesses and impairment live longer than ever before, and also that some other specific groups of our population have needs related to longevity. Longevity Studies offers an integrated study on the boarder of humanities, social, biomedical, and other mainly applied sciences. The course responds to needs of specialist analyses and solutions to problems related to longevity and demographic changes in society and in various fields of human life and activity. The PhD Longevity studies produces highly skilled and knowledgeable specialists in research, expertise, and transference of knowledge into practice. On the scientific level they are able to tackle problems related to the longevity of human life. They are aware, and able to use relevant scientific methods, to coordinate interdisciplinary teams. And furthermore, able to publish both scientific publications and materials for decision making at all levels and problems related to longevity.

As a research master's student, you choose one of our three multidisciplinary themes. The theme-specific courses will give you a broad view of the theme and will introduce you to the unique perspectives of the theme-related specializations. In the course of the first semester, you will choose your own specialization. It will enable you to tailor your master's to the topics that you wish to engage in.

One of the primary functions of university professors in Faculties of Medicine is teaching the Doctorate or Third Cycle of university studies since the doctorate plays a fundamental role of intersection between the EHEA and the EEI, and the doctors must lead the transfer from knowledge to the welfare of society.

The master's degree in Computer Engineering is focused on training highly qualified professionals who are capable of coordinating and managing projects, products, processes and installations in all areas of computer engineering. It aims to bring students into contact with cutting edge technologies in order to provide a flexible professional profile able to develop projects in all areas of computer engineering following quality and sustainability criteria while applying the principles of economics, human resource optimization and project management. It also gives the students comprehensive and in-depth knowledge needed to get involved in research, development and innovation projects in companies and technology centres in the field of computer engineering. Students completing this degree will become familiar with the management, planning and supervision of multidisciplinary teams, as well as the direction and management of equipment manufacturing processes.
