Graduate Studies

For the 2010-11 academic year, Zaman University does not offer any graduate degrees yet.

For the following years, however, Zaman University will offer two main types of challenging graduate programmes: Doctoral (PhD) and Master's degrees.

All Doctoral degree programmes at Zaman University are primarily research-based. They equip students with the skills required to advance knowledge, and human progress. Doctoral degrees are typically the first choice of students who seek depth of knowledge, enjoy creative problem solving, and who aspire to hold high level positions in their respective fields.

Master's degree programmes are primarily designed to prepare students for the practice of a profession (typically Master's by coursework) or to master a subject area as a precursor to doctoral training (typically Master's by research).

Prospective graduate students should think carefully about which type of graduate programme most suits their interests and career aspirations. Increasingly, students pursuing a research-oriented career (whether in industry or academe) and/or wanting to advance quickly in their chosen career, elect to enroll in a Doctoral programme.
