Doctor of Education Dual Qualifications

TWO doctor qualifications from the France and Croatia

The Doctor of Education and Innovation Pedagogy is one of the most prestigious qualifications in education worldwide. By partnering with one of the top universities in Croatia as well as adopting a research approach from the beginning, doctoral candidates in the Doctor of Education and Innovation Pedagogy program will focus on developing research skills with applied orientations in the field of education and educational management in two stages: (1) the learning stage of research subjects to orient research and understand scientific research methods in education, and (2) the research and thesis formation stage of the doctoral in Education under the guidance of faculty.

Through the process of study and research, students not only acquire applied research competency (a mandatory competency at the Doctoral level) but also develop profound and in-depth knowledge within every facet of business operations. This forms the foundation for conducting in-depth research and teaching within their passionate fields and industries.
