I suggest Universiti Tun Abdul Razak in Malasia. 2 year PhD in management full programme fee just only 4,736.84 USD. The Bangkokian.
Hi zvavda - I just have a few thoughts that come from my review of your posting and a quick surf through the Universiti Tun Abdul Razbak website. First, I'd say that I haven't been able to check out all the schools you've listed (though I've previously visited the websites a couple of them (Hong Kong Open U, Sri Lanka Open U, IGOU, to be specific). I have several questions that arise from this brief overview. 1) Is the English language available as a language of instruction at these schools? 2) Is it possible for a non-citizen, non-resident to enroll at these schools? 3) While the Universiti Tun Abduzak appears at first glance to be a legitimate school (I confess that I have no idea whether their stated accreditation means anything in the real world), I am slightly disappointed to find that they only offer IT and business degrees. While I understand that is of interest to many and that developing countries place a premium on programs that encourage economic development, someone such as myself (who is almost exclusively Humanities based) will have no interest at all for such a program. Also, I would wonder if there is any plan for further liberal arts programming? Someone on this forum has a signature line that says something to the effect of, "I study war so that my children can study mathematics so that their children can study poetry." If Razak intends to someday "study poetry," it suggests that they plan to be around for awhile and are not just cashing in on the momentary need to "study mathematics." Beyond all that I'd say that a two year doctoral program is stretching things a bit too thin. 4) You mentioned in your first post the idea of "recognition from asia," as if this was a sort of collective, unified commodity. I don't believe this to be the case. For example, is a degree from any of these schools universally recognized throughout Asia (it's a big, big place)? Perhaps in some cases the answer is "yes," but in all cases? 5) Regardless of the answers to these questions I think this is a valuable link. The world continues to grow smaller and the forces of globalization continue to bring formerly exotic cultures into our lives. It is likely that several of these schools will become as equally well known and well utilized as UNISA in years to come. Thanks for the link. Jack
Hi Jack Tracey 1) yes, It use english language for instruction. " Language Proficiency English Language proficiency requirements for UNITAR graduate programs apply to foreign students for whom English language is not their first language in their prior degree. They should obtain minimum standard points for the language proficiency test as listed below: - TOEFL - 550 IELTS - 6.0 or equivalent Students who did not meet the language requirement shall be required to undertake and pass an approved language course." 2) Does Ph.D.or M. Sc. program accepts applications from foreign students? "All Foreign students are welcomed to apply to study at UNITAR subject to approval by Malaysian Immigration" 3)For PhD degree, In asia Univ. always have degree in technology, Engineering, or management because the student can get good paid from that degree. If someone who take degree in social science he can't take any job except university lecturer. It contrastly with developing country, In developing country the leader alway graduate from social field like law, political science, development study, economic. but in developing country, the leader alway graduate from Engineering(like China and vietnam), in Thailand more than haft thai minister graduate engineering. 4)each goverment have each standard and have some political influence. Thai goverment not recognize any degree from italy even you knoe that it high standard but recognize almost degree from vietnam surprise!!! 5) I used to contact UNISA for the degree but unfortunately, I got M.Eng in Chemical Engineering so I can't follow that degree. I have many problem about further study in DL degree because PhD in Enginering doesn't offer in DL and if I will follow PhD in humanity field, I don't have required master degree to apllication for it. Could you suggest degree or school? Hi uncle janko!!! Mongolia doesn't offer DL degree. Joking?
Hi Zvavda. No, I wasn't joking. Maybe someday they will. If they did, there might well be hordes of applicants (sorry, couldn't resist).
Hi uncle janko!! May be in the future National University of Mongolia will open DL course and open "Jengis Khan School of business strategy" Kidding!!
M & A With a speciality in Murders & Acquisitions (oops! that is Mergers & Acquisitions)...just kidding! Mongolia is a place I have always wanted to visit. The last time I checked, while living in Japan, Japan's Univ. of the Air is only open to residents of Japan (or effectively a mailing address).
Genghis Khan: "Would you like a flower?" There's an interesting book by Jack Weatherford called Genghis Khan and the Making of the Modern World that suggests that the empire built by Genghis Khan was actually an instigator of modern civilization. Also, IIRC, Time magazine named Genghis Khan the "Man of the Millenium" back in 2000 because of his unlikely sounding positive influence on the world. Perhaps a management course that use him as an example wouldn't be so ridiculous after all.... -=Steve=-
