Individuals looking to deepen their knowledge of computer systems or electrical devices for workplace application may wish to pursue a program in technology. These students can often choose an industry-specific niche and develop skill in design, construction or repair with technical or digital devices.

Requirements for the PhD program often involve the student having already obtained a Master’s degree. Additionally, a thesis or dissertation primarily consisting of original academic research must be submitted. In some countries, this work may even need to be defended in front of a panel.

Online learning refers to use of electronic media and information and communication technologies (ICT) in education. With online learning one has the flexibility to access their studies at any time and from anywhere they can log on.
