Drawing from our extensive experience running doctoral programs worldwide, we understand that many candidates face challenges navigating the academic process and structuring their work. We have created a highly structured program combined with intensive support to address this. Our doctoral programs are divided into three phases and presented as a 10-step program approach. Right from the start, we provide enrolled candidates with a comprehensive rubric outlining the variables used to assess their deliverables and templates to facilitate their progress through the process. Each doctoral candidate is assigned both a supervisor and a mentor. The supervisor, a highly experienced PhD holder with relevant expertise, is appointed based on the initial research proposal. Your supervisor will proactively communicate with you at least once a month, provide clear feedback on your work, dedicate a substantial number of hours each year to assist you, and guide you through the coursework.
Our mentors serve as dedicated individuals who help candidates navigate the SSM Research Center. They maintain close communication with the doctoral candidate and their supervisor. Mentors act as friends, supporters, motivators, advocates, and listeners, offering assistance with non-essential, non-academic aspects of the doctoral journey.
