Prospective PhD students at the SHSPH

Thank you for your interest to pursuing PhD studies at the School of Health Systems and Public Health (SHSPH).

The School accepts PhD applications based on the availability of a supervisor for the applicant's project. Academic staff in the school can only supervise projects within their own research focus area, they can't randomly supervise any topic.

Prospective students are advised to go through the list of academic staff in the school and check their research focus area. You can contact the staff member directly to find out if he or she is available to supervise your project, so that when you write your concept note, you have agreed with a potential supervisor.

Then submit your concept note and CV to the Academic Advisory Committee of the school. The committee will review the concept, and if approved you can be admitted and then register and work on a full protocol.
