Students who take a teaching program will be introduced to different instructing methods and tools for various ages and/or subjects. Programs may include designing curriculums and classroom management plans, motivating children, technology integration, and record keeping.

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.

Part time learning allows one to obtain part-time degrees even if one cannot attend school on a full-time basis. One can learn at his or own pace, gradually accumulating credits which count towards final qualification.
