This doctorate study program is an advanced research-driven academic pathway designed for scholars, digital innovators, behavioral scientists, and technology leaders who aim to generate original contributions at the intersection of computing, information technology, and psychological sciences. Positioned at a level equivalent to EQF Level 8 and aligned with the Third European Cycle, the program emphasizes scientific rigor, interdisciplinary innovation, and the strategic integration of technology with human behavior research.

Structured as a 100% research-based program, it develops advanced expertise in computational behavioral analysis, cognitive systems modeling, digital mental health technologies, and intelligent human-centered design. The academic framework consists of seven comprehensive modules, including:

Four research-focused modules dedicated to advanced research methodology, quantitative and qualitative behavioral data analysis, experimental and computational modeling, academic publishing strategies, and innovation frameworks in interdisciplinary technology research.
Two general modules addressing digital governance, ethics in artificial intelligence and behavioral research, global innovation leadership, and strategic transformation in technology-driven environments.
One specialized module in Computing, IT, and Psychology, covering areas such as cognitive computing, human-computer interaction, AI-driven behavioral modeling, digital well-being systems, neuroinformatics, adaptive learning technologies, persuasive technologies, and behavioral cybersecurity.

The program culminates in an original doctoral-level research thesis and structured research activities, enabling candidates to investigate complex challenges such as artificial intelligence and human cognition, digital therapeutic systems, immersive user environments, data-informed behavioral prediction, and ethical frameworks for intelligent technologies.

With a minimum duration of 18 months, the program offers flexibility for extension to accommodate professional commitments and the depth of advanced research required at this level. It is designed for researchers, policymakers, consultants, and senior professionals seeking to influence the future of human-centered digital ecosystems.
