Your study programme

Did you know that around one in five Europeans suffers from chronic pain? The interuniversity postgraduate's programme in algology will teach you the many angles of chronic pain, which is often a combination of physical dysfunction, beliefs, coping strategies, distress, illness behaviour and social interactions. You'll learn how to minimise people’s pain while maximising their quality of life, independence and mobility. A wonderful mission, isn't it?
