CUTM Doctoral Programme
We enable you to design your own PhD programs. The focus could be in a core discipline or multidisciplinary and applied sciences, to resolve real time, real world problems. It could be in niche areas, be process or product oriented, and relating to management or social issues. The program features a series of activities to enhance your learning experience. You have to complete the mandated coursework and in addition attend workshops and seminars, delivered by experts in your field. You will keep up to date with research findings in the discipline(s) of interest to you. And you will also have opportunities for teaching, mentoring and internships
The University started offering the doctoral programme in 2011 in the areas of Engineering, Applied Sciences, Management, Humanities/Social Sciences, Pharmacy, Agriculture.
