PhD in Health science

This is a PhD program in Health Science at the Doctoral School of Jan Dlugosz University in Czestochowa, based in Czestochowa, Poland, offered in English and structured over eight semesters of full-time study. At the recruitment stage, candidates choose the language of instruction they will study in throughout the program. The Doctoral School prepares students for the doctoral degree, and on completion, graduates are expected to have achieved learning outcomes in knowledge, skills, and social competencies that align with Level 8 of the Polish Qualifications Framework. The program concludes with the submission of a PhD dissertation, which is the primary output of doctoral study in this format. Health science as a discipline covers the study of human health at the population and individual level, spanning areas such as public health, epidemiology, exercise and rehabilitation science, health promotion, and health systems research. Doctoral candidates in this field typically design and carry out original research under faculty supervision, contributing new evidence to areas such as disease prevention, health behavior, health policy, or clinical and applied health sciences. A PhD in health science is intended for students who already hold a relevant master's-level qualification and want to move into independent research, university teaching, or senior specialist roles in public health organizations, hospitals, research institutes, or government health agencies. Because doctoral study is research-driven rather than coursework-driven, students work closely with a supervisor over the eight semesters to develop a dissertation that meets the standards of the Polish Qualifications Framework at Level 8, before graduating with a doctoral degree in health science.
