Programme’s Philosophy

The Doctor of Philosophy Program in Anti-Aging and Regenerative Science provides learners with creative knowledge creation, innovation development and health problem solving for life-time well-being, healthy aging and preventive healthcare.  The program is designed to integrating knowledge from various disciplines of medicine, integrative healthcare, advanced nutrition and health technology for the innovative research, concept development and health program design for healthy aging and defying body degeneration. The program learning is conducted interactive manner with blended learning, hybrid learning technology for learners to get exposure to constructive guide from course instructor with the concept of cognitive constructivism and knowledge creation through social constructivism. By applying practical experiences with the findings from established knowledge and creating one's own understanding or cognitive structure, the teaching focuses on problem-based learning so that learners will be able to cope with real-life situations smartly. Each student will practice problem solving with the guide instructor and interactive corresponding with peers. The course will help to develop students' skills in research ability, knowledge transfer, concept delivery and innovation in anti-aging science and regenerative health.

The Doctor of Philosophy program in Anti-Aging and Regenerative Sciences therefore applies the theory of knowledge creation and self-intellectual skills (Constructivism Theory) to create learning management and learning outcomes monitoring. Social cognitive theory is used to build skills for students in the curriculum, applying the six aspects of course learning outcomes in order to develop learner’s academic readiness. Ph.D. graduates will be well primed to be a researcher, a mentor and an advisor for others in the field of anti-aging and regenerative science.

Programme’s Objectives

The Doctor of Philosophy Program in Anti-Aging and Regenerative Sciences aims to produce graduates who can create knowledge, invent theory and produce specialized innovation in the fields of anti-aging science and regenerative health with good morality, ethics, and practicing the principles of good research ethic. Ph.D. graduates will be able to create scientific programs to defy aging, promote high level regenerative health that is timely with the country's development goal and policy. Graduates will possess leadership skill, be able to work in multicultural society and have the skill to apply appropriate information technology to extend the knowledge, deliver and practice in anti-aging and regenerative health sciences internationally.
