Embark on a transformative PhD in Health Promotion at the University of Galway, a programme designed for aspiring researchers committed to advancing public health. This doctoral journey delves into critical areas such as mental health promotion, evidence-based practice, capacity development, and understanding public perceptions of health. You will explore vital contemporary issues including workplace health, nutrition, environmental sustainability and health, and health inequalities among children and young people. This PhD is ideal for those passionate about generating impactful research that bridges the gap between academic findings and real-world health policy and practice.
As a full-time, on-campus PhD student over four years, you will work closely with leading academics and researchers from the Health Promotion Research Centre, a World Health Organisation Collaborating Centre. Your doctoral research will be supported by expert supervisors, ensuring high-quality, substantial contributions to the field. You will engage fully in the academic life of the university, attending seminars and workshops, and potentially contributing to teaching. Upon graduation, you will be prepared for advanced roles as researchers, lecturers, and leaders in academic health promotion centres and related disciplines, both nationally and internationally.
