Master Research Degrees
Flexibility of online research masters degree program: Before deciding on an online masters degree program, be sure to evaluate how flexible each online school and online masters degree program is. Does it meet your schedule, especially if you will also be working, raising kids, or involved in some other major responsibility? Since online schools have their own criteria for earning an online masters degree, it is important to find out how long the online masters degree course will take to complete. We suggest finding out the shortest time possible to earn your online masters degree, the longest time possible, and then decide how long you would like to take, after reviewing the course descriptions and schedules. This ensures that you can earn your online masters degree in the time desired. Research masters degrees can take anywhere from 1 - 4 years. Many students, however, prefer to get the same recognized, quality masters degree online, but in much less time. Earning an online masters degree faster allows the students to start accomplishing goals faster. Since online masters degrees incorporate a flexible schedule, students can earn their masters degree online faster than ever possible.

Ph. D. Programs:
Our Doctoral program is designed for graduates who will make significant contributions to knowledge in their fields of specialization. The program is rigorous and the intellectual challenge considerable. Students receive individual attention from the start and often collaborate in serious research with faculty members. The University of Fairwings offers doctoral study in the areas of specialization. Research degrees can offer the opportunity to earn advanced degrees with little or no residency, and often at a very economical cost. The subject and choices have been studied in detail by Do. John Bear in his book on non-traditional education, details of which can be found on the AED DL book list. Dr. Bear has also frequently answered questions on the subject via the AED news group. Australia, Britain and South Africa are leading sources of research-only degrees. However in keeping with the relative independence of universities in some of these countries, the approach can differ from one to the next and may strongly depend on a relationship with the university or a faculty member.
POPULAR FIELDS FOR DOCTORAL STUDY
Business (PhD, DBA)
The PhD in business focuses intensively on preparing candidates to direct highly specialized scholarly research while the Doctor of Business degree focuses on the application of theory rather than on the development of new theory. Despite the differences sited above, both degrees are considered academically equivalent. Graduates will be qualified to develop knowledge in the business disciplines and for the practical application of theory in the business world.
Education (PhD, EdD)
The PhD in Education degree will prepare students for teaching positions or administrative careers whereas the EdD typically prepares primary and secondary school administrators or teachers in academic departments of education. Both degrees are considered academically equivalent.
Engineering (PhD, DS, DEng)
The Doctorate in Engineering degree is best suited for leading research engineers who seek administrative or executive positions within the engineering industry. Common areas of specialization include: electrical engineering, civil engineering, computer science, telecommunications, industrial engineering and mechanical engineering.
Psychology (PhD, PsyD)
Both the Ph.D. in Psychology and the Doctor of Psychology (PsyD) can be pursued through online study with UFW.

With a more narrow focus than the bachelor's degree, the master's degree focuses on developing specialized knowledge in a more specific field of study. While requirements vary according to the university, a master's research degree usually requires 1-2 years of full time or part time study after completion of the bachelor's degree and can take longer if the student studies part time.

Most courses run over 12 weeks a final assessment in the 14th week. We believe our method offers students time to absorb and apply material learned in class or online so that deep level learning is achieved and the course is a meaningful experience.
CRITERIA FOR ADMISSION TO A SHORT COURSE:
Our courses are designed to assist people who are ready and prepared for tertiary education. Criteria differ from course to course but a specific course makes most sense if an applicant is working in the particular field. For certain courses pre-requisites in mathematics, economics or computer literacy are applied. Short course provisioning is one of the most dynamic features of Academic's emerging education and training system. These courses are particularly associated with ‘just in time’, and ‘just enough’ learning to meet specific needs in workplace environments. This approach is a viable and common method for optimal workplace functioning in many contexts. It makes access to learning manageable, and saves the employers and the employees money, time, energy and resources.

The individual projects in the diploma level also counts towards the final award. Students are required to complete project at the end of the diploma. Short, Certificate and diploma programs are every bit as rigorous as their graduate degree counterparts, with these courses -seeking students often enrolling in identical courses as degree candidates. Certificate and Diploma courses on request (customized). Students admitted to the course programs are not required to hold a metric or equal. Students successfully completing the requirements in their chosen field of study, including passing all examinations, may apply to transfer into a graduate degree program. This course can be done through distance learning, or online. Bachelors degree will be done through distance learning, online using projects and case studies to complete the degree.
Bachelors Degrees:
We offer to you a convenient way to earn a reputable, accredited online bachelor's degree, with no career interruption, commuting or fixed class hours. Our quality degree programs and online learning method ensure that you will learn and enjoy the experience of earning a bachelor's degree online.
