MENU / About the phd programmeThe PhD Programme in Health, Wellbeing, and Bioethics is part of the Aristos Campus Mundus International Campus of Excellence. It is the result of a strategic partnership among three socially-driven universities, as it is jointly offered by the University of Deusto, the Universidad Pontificia Comillas and Universitat Ramon Llull.
This programme is one of the few in the health sciences that emphasises the importance of integrating technical expertise with ethical competence, while addressing social determinants of health. Its mission is to promote individual well-being by ensuring respect for integrity, dignity, and autonomy.
It promotes the integration of various disciplines to understand and address health and well-being processes from multiple perspectives.
It prioritises care models that place individuals at the centre of decisions and interventions related to their health.
It includes not only the biomedical dimension but also the social, ethical and environmental factors that contribute to well-being.
It adopts strategies to reduce social inequalities in health, promoting an inclusive and equitable perspective.

Application process open
An interdisciplinary approach (bringing together sport sciences, nursing, physiotherapy, human nutrition and dietetics, pharmacy, bioethics and other fields within the health sciences) to the processes linked to health and well-being, as well as to different pathologies, with a focus on future-oriented models based on the interrelation of diverse care perspectives centred on the person, from a holistic view of health.
Its distinct feature is that, beyond the strictly biomedical dimension, it incorporates attention to the social and environmental determinants that contribute to well-being, approached from an ethical perspective within a legal framework. All of this is undertaken from an inclusive standpoint, with a commitment to reducing social inequalities in health.
This programme provides the necessary training for research in the areas of Health-Wellness and Health-Bioethics. It may also be taken with the International Mention, and it can likewise be completed in the form of an Industrial Doctorate.
