SMC Education Group proudly announces the launch of a state-of-the-art Doctor of Philosophy (PhD) program in various fields such as Business Administration, Political Economy, Political Science, Public Administration, Economics, Finance, Information Technology, and Cybertech & Security. These programs are designed to prepare students for careers in academia, research, or industry by developing their abilities to undertake independent research at an advanced level and make an original and significant contribution to knowledge and professional practice.
The PhD programs are delivered in a blended learning mode, which combines online courses with face-to-face workshops and seminars. The programs are flexible and can be completed in six years on a part-time basis or 4 years if pursued on a full-time basis.
The PhD programs entail a series of eight phases, starting from the research proposal and ending with the thesis defense. Students are initially registered as MPhil students and can upgrade to PhD status after passing the transfer interview. The transfer interview is conducted after at least 24 months of part-time study and requires clear evidence of progress in the research work. The final phase of the program is the thesis defense, which involves presenting and defending the research findings before a panel of examiners.
SMC Education Group is committed to providing high-quality education that meets the needs and expectations of its students and stakeholders. The online college is accredited Malta Further and Higher Education Authority (Ministry of Education). SMC Education Group also has partnerships with reputable universities around the world that offer dual degree options for its students.
