Conduct research on a public health topic through a collaborative program between Deakin University and the University of Copenhagen, with opportunities to experience different international healthcare systems. Students enrolled in the H902 PhD program will work on public health research projects under the guidance of faculty from both institutions, spending a minimum of six months at each university to gain comparative insights into global health systems and research approaches.
Supported research fields encompass Public Health and Health Promotion, Health Economics and Program Evaluation, Public Health Nutrition, Health Services Management, as well as Medicine and Allied Health disciplines. The Doctor of Philosophy degree recognizes significant, original scholarly contributions completed within four years of full-time study (or four to eight years for part-time students).
Deakin University supports approximately 1600 postgraduate research students – talented individuals leveraging our world-class resources, collaborative networks, specialized research centers, and strong academic standing. This program serves as an ideal foundation for those pursuing careers in academic research and scholarly work.
