PhD in 보건AI학과

The tuition fee is 9,360,000 KRW per year.

This doctoral program, offered under the name 보건AI학과, focuses on the application of artificial intelligence methods to health and medical research, a field that combines biomedical science, data science, and computational modeling. Students in this area study how machine learning, predictive analytics, and computational tools can be applied to clinical data, disease detection, treatment planning, and public health surveillance, often working at the intersection of medicine, statistics, and computer science. At the doctoral level, training emphasizes independent research, requiring candidates to design studies that apply AI techniques to a specific health or cancer-related problem and to produce original findings in a dissertation. Graduates commonly pursue careers as biomedical data scientists, health informatics researchers, university faculty, or specialists within hospitals, public health agencies, and organizations developing AI-driven diagnostic or treatment tools. The technical and analytical skills built in this field, including programming, statistical modeling, and clinical data interpretation, are increasingly sought after in both academic medicine and health technology industries. This program is delivered as a PhD with a duration of 3 years or more, and admission is available in March or September. It is based in Goyang, South Korea, at the National Cancer Center Graduate School of Cancer Science and Policy, and instruction is conducted in English, allowing international students to pursue the degree without needing Korean proficiency. Doctoral study typically combines coursework in computational and biomedical methods with mentored research, culminating in a dissertation. Applicants generally hold a master's degree in a related science, medicine, or data field and should be prepared for interdisciplinary research bridging health science and artificial intelligence.
