How to apply

The application window for the European Doctoral School of Demography (EDSD) Programme 2027-2028 will be open soon! Further details will follow. 

To be eligible for admission, applicants should hold a Master's degree in demography, mathematics, statistics, public health, economics, sociology, geography, biology, computer science, history, or a related field. Master's students may also apply, but they must have completed their degree and possess the official title before the start of the program. At the time of application, students may or may not be enrolled in a PhD program. Enrolment in a PhD program at one of the participating institutes is not required. Participants who are not enrolled in a PhD program are expected to enrol in one during or after the EDSD program.

Curious minds with a deep interest in demography and population development, whether of humans or species, and a proven competence in English are ideal candidates for the program. European Union citizens must have a valid European Health Insurance Card (EHIC) for the duration of the program. Non-EU citizens selected for the program must apply for a student visa at the Polish embassy in their home country.
