Doctor of Professional Practice from Otago Polytechnic in NZ

I didn't realize they'd broken it back up.

The program is highly flexible. They'll admit students from the U.S. You can do it without traveling to New Zealand. (But why wouldn't you?) The degree is awarded for completing (and reporting on) a practical project vice a scholarly thesis. (But the academic rigor is there.) They're very responsive and are flexible; if they can supervise your project you can pursue it.

IIRC, before the formation of Te Pūkenga, Otago had the program, so there's really been no interruption in running the program.

I like it.

 

"Totally by DL and will cost about $US5K per year for 3 or 4 years. This is a Level 10 (doctoral) qualification listed by the NZQA. "

NZ $9,456 / 1 year only for local student. For international student is NZ $32,500

 

$57,389.06 USD for the entire program is quite expensive for a Professional Doctorate via distance. The learning support is limited, the networking is limited, and local campus resource access is limited.

 

You click on the "INTERNATIONAL" on the top by "DOMESTIC."

If that is the case, then we, the DI's members, must protest by performing the Haka at the Otago Polytechnic.

 

That's not at all how it read a year ago. I suspect the international fees are new since the return to the old structure.
