Key Summary
EULER, in cooperation with EUCLID, an intergovernmental treaty-based institution with a university mandate, offers to select students from the general public an online PhD in epidemiology and biostatistics with a focus on clinical studies and public health policies.
It is, to date, the only PhD program in this field offered by an international intergovernmental organization. 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.
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.

Epidemiology and biostatistics 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.
The EULER+EUCLID DEPI provide outstanding professional and academic preparation to its students for a successful career in global health policy and research at the international, regional, national and local levels. This includes academic positions as well as civil service (government, international organizations such as WHO, UNICEF, etc.)
