*: PhD program in physiotherapy is a full time program. Therefore candidates usually spend the most of their time in the University. They almost start working on their thesis subject since the second semester. However, officially they begin working on their research studies from the fifth semester and continue until the eighth and sometimes to ninth semester. Accordingly it seems impossible to define the real time when candidates spend on their research projects.
