Romain De Cock Scholarship

Students from a low- or middle-income country (LMIC) who wishes to enrol in the MSc in Public Health or the MSc in Tropical Medicine. Which master's programme is most relevant, will depend on the applicant’s thesis topic and choice of elective course components. The focus of the thesis research project should have some relation to surgical, obstetrical or gynecological health topics and can include health policies (e.g., access to surgical or reproductive health services) or clinical research topics (e.g., antimicrobial resistance, infection control), of interest for surgical practice. The focus should remain on studying a topic within a broader public health perspective.

We encourage applicants to highlight their interest in this scholarship opportunity in their motivation letter during the application process.

The Romain De Cock scholarship is a full scholarship which covers tuition fee, accommodation and a living allowance.

The scholarship is awarded yearly to a student from a low- or middle-income country (LMIC). The same eligibility rules as DGD scholarships apply (see above).
