PhD by research via Distance Learning is awarded after successfully completing a theoretical research specialization. This research is presented in the form of a doctoral thesis. The PhD (Doctor of Philosophy) is the only doctoral degree that can be achieved through distance learning. The main requirement for a PhD online through distance learning is to present and discuss a thesis of at least 100 pages for review and evaluation by an academic committee at Selinus University.

Philosophy is the study of the most fundamental questions that arise from reflection on the nature of the world and the place that man occupies in it. The importance of the study of philosophy lies in the habits of thought it inculcates, in the breadth of vision it encourages, and in the perspective, it gives on ourselves, on our activities, and on our life among others. A research thesis on philosophy offers students in the programme an opportunity to improve their analytical, critical, expressive, and interpretative skills, and to build and respond to both spoken and written arguments. The programme also suggests using philosophical wisdom as a way of dealing with life, whether it is a specific problem or a general depression. Implementing serious academic research in this area is, without doubt, the beginning of a process that can enrich one's life immensely.
