Overview

EULER's online PhD in Biostatistics and Epidemiology is offered in close partnership with EUCLID, an intergovernmental treaty-based institution with a university mandate. It has a focus on clinical studies and public health policies.

It is, to date, the only PhD program in this field offered in cooperation with an international intergovernmental organization recognized for its expertise in global health policies. Its purpose is to prepare highly qualified public health professionals able to serve in civil service, international organizations, health care institutions, as well as non-governmental organizations globally.

The EULER online PhD in Biostatistics and Epidemiology offers a strong coursework core capped with a dissertation and associated project. Graduates can expect to complete the program transformed and enhanced in their ability to pursue a successful career in in clinical or public health evaluation or in academia (university faculty positions).

Academic Presentation

Biostatistics and Epidemiology are often studied and approached from a national-centric perspective. Few programs are truly international in scope so as to fully prepare graduates for global civil service or corporate careers that will engage a wide variety of global health challenges, including vaccine policy HIV, drug-resistance, diet-related or lifestyle diseases, etc.

To answer this challenge, EUCLID has designed a world-class doctoral curriculum, which is presented here with full documentation of syllabus and faculty resources, as well as total tuition. This documentation will enable potential students to determine if this program is suitable and aligned with their career objectives.

AUDIENCE | INTEREST GROUPS

This unique PhD program focuses on the practical and policy aspects of global public health rather than the advancement of purely theoretical knowledge.

This doctoral program was primarily designed to serve civil servants of EUCLID’s Participating States, but it is also open to the general public as an excellent route to pursue a career within inter-governmental bodies, NGOs and the public sector.

Thanks to its low tuition and institutional relationships, and because it covers such topics as health systems strengthening, malaria and tropical diseases in-depth, it is expected to be of special interest to Global South/African students.
