Statutes are provided upon request.

 

 

Euro-Asian Doctorate Studies (Professional)

CAIRN Doctorate degrees are based on the EU directives governing Professional Doctorate / Adult Continous Education / Open Learning credits, gained by participants presenting a Doctorate Thesis project which conceptual, experiential and methodological requirements are achieved through a flexible accumulation of ECTS/ECDL credits in the fields of ICT- Arts&Therapy and Humanities Field-Studies.

Suitable experienced candidates can be admitted for a Professional Doctorate Thesis in subjects, such as:  Euro-Asian Education Exchange Marketing and Promotion Strategy Prospectives (HEIs, NGOs and SMEs), the use of e-learning Multimedia Database for Humanitarian Assistance training development, field-studies in Philosophy, Traditional Health, Ethnomedicine, Clinical Anthropology and/or Shamanism.

The thesis link to traditional health phenomenology and to CHOWs training, within their hermeneutics, geo-political,  religious and social dimensions for services delivery, will be particularly encouraged.  

Cairn organizes Professional  Doctorate Thesis (ECTS/ECDL) from  the opportunity provided by the European Commision Directives for EU Continuous Education (Professional Training) with a training content  based on each applicants' previous professional experience or renewed interest.

There are already hundreds of examples of Open Learning Online, Continuous Adult Education and Professional Postgraduates and Doctorates within the EU and British universities, not mentioning Private Education Providers in USA, Canada, Australia and UK. 

However, none so far, have designed an integrated framework of options being a cost-effective flexible menu of EU certified credits from an experts academic units affordable for answering the specific needs and priorities of students and trainees in Nepal/S-Asia.

Even less is being done so far for answering the EU researchers or students interest in Traditional Health or Philosophy from serious academic resources in Nepal, in such areas of ongoing studies  in the Arts & Humanities, as Dharma, Tibetan Philosophy, Ethno-medicine or Himalayan Traditional Health.

This is why Cairn Consortium, in collaboration with the SXC/SXSSC has initiated a new platform for academic exchange and field-studies, including VLE resources with courses online, videos streaming and  education counselling database, from a selection of genuine key- resources, persons and infrastructures in situ.

 

The key features of Cairn Postgraduate and Doctorate degrees are:

a- the titles are different from MSc or PhD – they directly refer to a particular field-expertise or profession, for which credits are being gained by applicants who submit a personal project for a Professional Postgraduate or Professional Doctorate Thesis in areas of their previous professional experience or renewed interest, such as: EdD (education), DBA (business management) , DHA (health anthropology) , DEC (education counselling) and other open disciplines certification.

b- these are designed for experienced professionals who want to do 
a PhD part-time while remaining at work and who want to proceed 
through a personalized accumulation of credits certificates.

c- their aim is to make an original contribution to professional
knowledge and professional practice through a Thesis. 

d- they are studied in the work-place on an actual problem occurring 
in the local community, as well as allow short intensive Summer and
Winter Campus organized in the UK, Canada or EU (min 3 weeks, max 3 months) and, of course, Cultural Immersion  Field-studies in Nepal/S-Asia.

e- they naturally involve action research and stepwise ethnographic
investigation, from which (consensual diagnosis) a problem is identified, 
an intervention project designed is initiated, some possible solutions are
devised and implemented. The joint-supervision allows effectiveness 
to be monitored by experts in the field, so as to comply with 
Nepal, EU, UK and Canada academic requirements.

f- as there is a significant conceptual, methodological and know-how
taught component in each individual project, material and references
are brought online. This allows the development of knowledge in a most
flexible and cost-effective manner in-situ, provides a focus-group cohort
identity, allow the teaching of research methods, propose the provision 
of extended open menu of related subject training, allows an easy online
sharing of experience and methodologies through forum, and encourage 
de visu (face-to-face) collective debate on common issues, experiences 
and relevance of each research topic through focused Seminars in
the specific profession or training involved. 
 

 

 

Combining teaching and research to the highest standard

The ‘taught' component of the Professional Doctorate will comprise a broad research training, taught at Masters level, to enable participants to employ different research design and implementation techniques in their chosen area of professional interest. There will be a further online ‘taught' component (assessed at the Doctoral-level), which reviews issues of professional relevance and interest to all high level practitioners. During this time preparatory work will commence for the research component (which will also be at the D-level). The research component will enable the participant to work individually, on a research topic (or cluster of related topics) of relevance to their professional role.

 

 

Flexible delivery for professionals

The Professional Doctorate programme is designed to support individual learning, driven by a learning needs analysis and personal development plan (PDP), with the learner identifying learning needs and satisfying these needs through a variety of different resources.

The programme will be delivered in a flexible way to reflect the learning needs of practising professionals who will be studying on a part time basis and who will be conducting a significant proportion of the work contributing to this degree in their work environment. Typically the ‘taught ' units will delivered by a combination of work-based learning (drawing on the latest available practice-based evidence), web based distance learning with online discussion and support, and research ‘conferences' either face to face at Bath or via an e-learning discussion board. The ‘ research and thesis ' element of the programme will be supervised by a panel of specialists comprising an academic member of staff of the University (to ensure that the work is of a sufficient standard to attain the award of PD) and one or a number of practice-based specialists will co-supervise this work.

In addition, previous learning experience and credits obtained from elsewhere will be recognised and accredited, in line with the University's current practice, as part of the admissions criteria for the programme.

 

 

Who can apply?

Applicants must propose a  Doctorate Thesis / Research Project :

Minimum prerequisites for participation are a BA level, or 3 years minimum 
professional involvement in a related NGOs or SMEs field of activities.

Caer Sidi is a personalized development research program only and is always offered one-on-one by appointment.

Caer Sidi  is also a unique experiential program which includes introduction to both Tibetan Tsa-rLung and Celtic Shamanic Healing in selected powerplaces and allows participants to find their own Keys to Transmutation, Rejuvenation and (Self~) Healing, through the Body of Light practices...

The Caer Sidi Itinerary is intended to re-awaken and develop a synthesis of our latent roots shamanic abilities. We will learn how to intentionally shift our state of consciousness, link with Protectors and Holy Spirits, as well as how to get more awareness of subtle non-ordinary reality, while opening and cleansing our Higher Chakras.

We establish connections with selected Keltic and Tibetan Sacred Helpers, Who will facilitate personal and communal health and healing. These programs are an opportunity to gather further knowledge into the Common Ancestral Roots of Keltic and Tibetan Shamanic Healing practices.

Dr. B. Raven Lee, Dr. William R. Leon and other experienced intervenors will guide the target-sites meditation and healing rituals. Participants will concentrate on the compassion emanated from fully enlightened protectors and principal emanations in the Verdon Sacred Mandala and the Cathares Lore retreats.

The stream of transmission of the Compassionate Healing energies will bring the Third Eye (Ajna Chakra) and Compassion (Heart Chakra) in resonance with the Spiritual Heritage of the target-sites visited. This will lead to Initiations taking the form of "Spontaneous Arising Light"  (Tigle), Visions or other subtle transmissions inherited from the lineages, protectors and guardians of these sacred sites.

Experiential spontaneous transmissions of teaching and revelations from Masters, Angels or Fairies, have always been a foundational aspect of spiritual awakening in both the Tibetan Body of Light (Tsa-rLung) lineages and related Arts of Divination, Rejuvenation and Healing in the Grail Quest.

 Through the embodiment of the Keltic and Vajrayana Body of Light practices, we will pursue the Never-Ending Human Grail Quest of Spiritual Development.
