Universidad Azteca International Network System - Doctorates with Partner Universities

The universities synergise the international faculties, joint branch campus facilities abroad, and the online education resources of both universities, whereby Universidad Azteca is mainly responsible for provision of taught elements and courses of a study programme, with UCN being mainly responsible for the research and thesis periods of study.

Besides national recognition as university and listing in the IAU database of recognised universities, both institutions are also internationally accredited as “Premier University” by Accreditation Service for International Schools, Colleges and Universities ASIC, a UK government recognised Accreditation Body (ENQA and CHEA listed).

Our international programmes are designed for students anywhere in the world and can be passed online without any on-campus residencies. The asynchronous method of online instruction allows enrolment throughout the year and enables students to determine their own pace of studies. Courses and examinations can be taken anywhere and anytime. Final oral examinations or defence of thesis are conducted via online video conference between candidate and examination jury members.

Admission requirements for postgraduate programmes are a graduate degree, whereby, admission to a Master´s programme require the equivalent of a Bachelor´s degree (minimum 180 ECTS credits) or a comparable qualification (e.g. EQF level 6); admission to a Doctor´s degree programme require the equivalent of a graduate or postgraduate degree (minimum 240 ECTS credits) or a comparable qualification (e.g. EQF level 7). The university will conduct an admission evaluation for every individual student. The university reserves the right to admit students based on qualification only. Admission to an advanced research doctorate by thesis only require a postgraduate degree (minimum 300 ECTS credits) or a comparable qualification (e.g. EQF level 7 or 8), allowing for the transfer of 60 ECTS credits earned in the postgraduate qualification programme to the period of instruction for the research doctoral programme, to be completed by the research phase and the dissertation only.
