The medical degree programmes at IIHSR European University are designed around a comprehensive three-division academic framework that combines research, documented clinical practice, and professional competency assessment. This structure enables qualified healthcare professionals to demonstrate advanced academic knowledge, clinical experience, and professional competence in accordance with internationally recognized educational principles.
Programme Overview
The University's medical programmes are delivered through three integrated academic divisions:
Division I – Research & Academic Study
The first component focuses on advanced academic learning and independent research.
Students undertake:
- Research-based learning
- Literature review
- Evidence-based medical research
- Independent dissertation/thesis
- Scientific writing

- Academic publications (where applicable)
Candidates are guided by Academic Advisers throughout the research process.
Research Thesis
Applicants complete an original research thesis in their chosen specialization.
Research Guidelines
- Research Thesis: 30–60 Pages (or as specified by the programme)
- Microsoft Word (.doc/.docx) or PDF
- Times New Roman (or similar), Size 12
The thesis is evaluated by the Academic Council.
Division II – Clinical Practice Recognition
The second academic division focuses on professional clinical competency.
The University recognizes that many applicants are already qualified healthcare professionals with substantial clinical experience.
Accordingly, candidates may satisfy the clinical requirement through either previous professional practice or current supervised clinical placement.
Clinical Practice Duration
Minimum Requirement:
Three (3) Months
There is no maximum duration.
Long-term professional experience is fully recognized.
Two Accepted Pathways

Acceptable evidence includes:
- Employment verification

- Clinical Practice Report (CPR)
- Supporting documentation
This pathway recognizes previously completed professional experience and does not require the candidate to repeat clinical training.
