- Save €10,800€34,800 for the bundle instead of €45,600 when booked separately. Locked in by 31 May 2026.
- Save 6 months of your careerCombined pathway is structured to remove duplication between programs — finish in 54 months instead of 60 months.

Built for ambitious healthcare professionals.
The pathway is designed around the realities of clinical and operational work — flexible, online and structured, with international peers and faculty.

Stories from current students.
"Participating in the EIM programme has been a significant enrichment for me, both professionally and personally. During my doctoral work I particularly value the high academic quality and the individual one-to-one supervision, which enables targeted and structured academic development."
"I work as a physiotherapist and osteopath in Austria and am writing my dissertation at EIM. The professors and supervisors operate at a very high academic level without losing sight of the human side. Supervision is intensive, clearly structured and very comprehensive. The weekly assignments make it genuinely possible to write a dissertation alongside a full-time job in a relatively short time, without compromising on academic standards."
"EIM provides a highly stimulating academic environment that combines rigorous research standards with a strong practice-oriented and international perspective. Supervision is professional, accessible and genuinely supportive. What sets EIM apart is its flexibility and understanding of doctoral candidates with a professional background. The programme is clearly structured yet adaptable, so I can pursue high-quality research while benefiting from a collaborative, intellectually engaging community."
