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.
