Education · CeprLab

Postgraduate study and continuing education — grounded in our research, run by partners we trust.

CeprLab supports education through research mentorship, doctoral supervision, and our facilities. The MSc programme and continuing professional development courses are run by the Department of Physiotherapy and the UTH Lifelong Learning Centre — the routes below take you to the people who manage admissions.

What we offer

CeprLab supports education at the intersection of research and clinical practice

The lab's role is to mentor researchers, supervise doctoral work, and provide the equipment and research context that postgraduate study and continuing education depend on. Programme administration, admissions, and fees are handled by the partners who run each programme.

The lab works closely with two programmes hosted by the Department of Physiotherapy: the MSc “Advanced Physiotherapy” — the first postgraduate physiotherapy programme in Greece (re-established 2020 · ΦΕΚ 1946/Β/21-5-2020) — and the Department's doctoral programme. Both are directed by Eleni Kapreli, who also directs CeprLab. Continuing professional development is offered through the UTH Lifelong Learning Centre, spanning research mentorship for MSc theses and dissertation supervision across the three research lines.
