Introduction

A PhD by Research via Distance Learning, accredited by WCI (world Certification Institute) perfectly adjusts to adult students’ needs, that is people having work and family commitments yet willing to go through alternative academic paths. Selinus University is an independent private international university that helps adult international students achieve their academic goals. 

Over the years, several surveys have shown that via Distance Learning PhDs by research can be as useful as those earned by traditional academic systems. Clearly, it has to be granted that the private institution is highly reputable. In this regard, Selinus University has acquired a respectable and trustworthy reputation, always giving personal skills and professionalism the deserved emphasis.

Nowadays, Selinus University represents an important alternative to traditional studies, above all if we consider the digital era and the global village we live in. Our study system is geared towards busy people pacing today's world rhythms. As a matter of fact, it is efficiently transmitted among computer devices anywhere in the world.

Doctor of Philosophy (PhD), in Latin: Philosophiae Doctor or Doctor Philosophiae, is the highest academic degree awarded. It usually covers all academic programs. As graduate researchers, PhD students are usually required to show competence, master their topic research but also carry out an original thesis so as to foster new academic contributions in their knowledge field. A PhD via distance learning is an original academic research in a specific branch of human knowledge. The candidate works autonomously and his/her project culminates in a final doctoral thesis.

Unlike any other traditional campus-based PhD, Selinus PhD by Research does not have semesters splitting; it rather consists of independent and autonomous theoretical research on a specific academic area. This research is implemented in a final thesis that students shall complete within 24 months.

The Distance Learning PhD is earned after successfully completing and defending the final doctoral thesis in the academic major that has been chosen. The "Doctor of Philosophy" is the only PhD that can be obtained via Distance Learning. It should be quite clear that any laboratory method or professional practice cannot occur online or through any distance learning system.
The main requirement for a distance learning PhD by Research is to submit and defend the final thesis whose minimum length has to be 90/100 pages. That will be reviewed and evaluated by an academic committee of the Selinus Unversity. In some cases, previous candidates’ publications may be relevant for PhD purposes. In case the thesis credits are not sufficient, in order to have all the required doctoral credits, additional in-depth reports (about 15-20 pages each) based on textbooks may also be requested.

A PhD is often a very popular job requirement in many work areas. Especially in developing countries, with a lack of basic job training, the Doctor of Philosophy is more and more required not only for highly qualified professions but also for multinationals, non-governmental organizations, and private companies’ employments. Employees are asked for an academic "certification" higher than a Bachelor's or a Master's degree.
