PhD in Adult Education

CURRICULUM FRAMEWORK

The Ph.D. programme will be by research and submission of a Thesis.  However, this does not preclude the possibility of conducting the programme through the combined modes of providing taught Module-work and submission of a Thesis in the future.  A candidate admitted into the Ph.D. programme without having a previous degree in Adult Education, will be required to take specialized M. Ed. Modules.

The Ph. D. programme by research will have three specialization areas, and for the purpose of clarity, the students’ doctoral research work must be in one of the specialization areas.  The three specialization areas in which the Department has the relevant expertise are Adult Education, Community Development, and Communication in Adult Education and Community Development.
