Ph.D Contact Basis (Independent Research Program) Online Mode through International Accreditated Central Christian University Malawi – Join Program



Research Analysis Worldwide
As the cost of education in the U.S. continues to rise, more students are considering earning a degree online, where tuition costs are often lower and the flexibility of web-based coursework allows students to work while studying more flexibly than in traditional programs. In fall of 2018, 10.7 million students were enrolled in at least one online university course, up from 7.1 million the previous year. Additionally, fewer students see online study as easier or less legitimate than earning a degree on campus, since many online and hybrid programs are offered by colleges and universities that also offer traditional programs. Online programs can also be nationally, regionally, and programmatically accredited, ensuring the quality of their curriculum, faculty, student support, and technological resources.

Recent international policies promote international university cooperation and student exchange between countries worldwide. High-quality study and PhD degrees are made more available to students in order to create a global educational network, achievable through student and staff mobility. Career and research oriented programmes support international student development.

University cooperation enables students study worldwide, for instance in Australia, Asia, Europe and the United States and provides ways of recognizing previous degrees. Different study options offer appropriate alternatives to students, depending on their preferred mode of study.

Many study programmes in Australia, Asia, Africa, Europe and North America are English-taught. The most popular international student destinations include the following countries: Australia, Belgium, China, Denmark, Finland, France, Germany, Italy, the Netherlands, Switzerland, Spain, Sweden, United Kingdom, the United States, and more. However, these are not the only countries offering English-taught education. The rest of the world is full of endless study choices, from highly ranked to smaller, more specialized, universities

Most applications oblige students to lodge a formal request, usually with the accompaniment of published works such as those concerning their work in major companies, peer-reviewed serials, and unpublished reports approved by the Senate. These publications will be examined by national and international experts. Many universities also require a master’s degree in Literature for admission.
