We offer Bachelor, Masters, PhD degrees, and bootcamps. All our programmes are 100% in English.
Bachelor is a 3 year programme but can be completed in 2 years or even less depending on the student efforts.
The Master degree takes 1 academic year, and it is self paced so you can finish in 9 months if you have the availability.
The traditional PhD, can be completed in 2-3 years with a dedicated effort by the student, but may take longer depending on the purpose of the research.
The PhD by Portfolio can be completed in 1 academic year.
Both programmes are fully online.
The traditional PhD is focused on academic research to contribute to the body of academic literature on a topic, whereas the PhD by Portfolio highlights a collection of scholarly achievements, creative endeavors, and practical contributions.
If an official English exam certificate is not available we will consider proof of any previous study in an English-speaking environment for a minimum of 3 years or by conducting an official interview with our admissions department.
