Project management involves the successful completion of projects by directing them from start to finish. Project managers are often found on legal teams, in training departments and in logistics. Planning a project requires skills in budgeting, time management and communication.

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.
