The program structure consists in an original, autonomous and independent research that has to be carried out by the candidate in any of the available majors.

Unlike any other traditional campus-based programs, Selinus Ph.D. by Research does not have semesters splitting or on-campus coursework or lessons to attend. It rather consists in independent and autonomous theoretical research on a specific academic area.

This research is implemented in a final thesis – at least 100 pages (150000 characters) long – that the student shall complete within 24 months. There is no minimum duration time instead.

The Ph.D. (Doctor of Philosophy) by Research is the only doctorate degree that may be earned via distance learning in Selinus University. It should be quite clear that any laboratory method or professional practice cannot occur online or through any distance learning system.

Therefore, no other doctorate degree besides PhD by Research can be issued by the School of Theology and Religious Studies.

If any candidates wish to pursue a different major than the ones available, they can agree with our Secretariat a major specifically tailored for their individual needs. All Ph.D. degree certificates have notarization on Blockchain.
