Capstone assignment title:
Doctoral Education Process at a Rural University in South Africa
Capstone assignment abstract:

A doctoral degree is the highest qualification which a student can receive at a higher education institution. The awarding of this degree is an affirmation that a candidate has acquired necessary skills in their chosen field which will enable them to conduct high level research to then contribute to knowledge economy and also to guide and promote other masters and doctoral candidates in future. It follows that the system and processes producing doctoral graduates should be as good and acceptable as the doctoral graduates themselves. This project thus sought to study the doctoral education process using a case of a university at the rural South Africa. A fundamental walk-through the literature and the author’s own experience of working in the university as a postgraduate supervisor, were used to get an understanding of the process and present the fundamental analysis. The project found that there is some commendable and quality assured system for doctoral education. A few weaknesses were noted and suggested recommendations for improvements were also made.
