Degree programmes
PhD Programme
The Centre for Public Health offers a structured PhD program designed to develop researchers who can contribute to public health advancements through rigorous academic training and practical engagement. Doctoral students are embedded within workstreams aligned with national and institutional public health priorities. The Centre offers funded PhD positions, supporting two new candidates per year for the first three years, with a maximum of six concurrent candidates, each receiving funding for up to four years.
Master’s Programmes
