Join over 7000 international students from Europe, USA and the rest of the world.
MDCI has developed a unique partnership with University of South Africa (UNISA) to offer locally supported distance education programmes specifically for working people.
UNISA – The “MEGA” University
The main partner of MDCI for this programme is the highly regarded University of South Africa (UNISA) – classed as one of the 11 leading very large universities. Founded in 1873, UNISA gained its University Royal Charter in 1876. It became the world’s first completely Distance Education University in 1946.
We can now offer: the degree of master of education - with specialisation in history of education
Purpose
This programme aims to equip students with advanced theoretical knowledge, professional skills and applied competence by means of Educational Research in aspects of the Adult Education. A field-specific portfolio module gives students the opportunity to interact creatively with the course work in their work environments.
How it Works
The method of teaching this course is highly innovative. We call it “locally supported distance education” : learning through University supplied materials and MDCI administration and resource centres. It is based on MDCI “On- location” method of teaching which is so successful for postgraduate study here in the Middle East.
Locally Supported Distance Education
A specially designed study method based on Unisa’s extensive competence in distance education. This expertise is supplemented locally by MDCI’s considerable experience in supporting over 500 postgraduate students close to their homes but distant from the university.
Advantages of Locally Supported Distance Education
· Flexibility: you study at your own pace · Convenience: you study from home · Local administrative support: through MDCI’s regional offices · On-line support: through Unisa’s Student on Line (SOL) system · Telephone and email support: from Unisa faculty · On-line library access: for the your all-important research materials (journals, books, papers, etc) · Textbook ordering facility: speedy service at reasonable prices for your books.

completion of curriculum

The extent of the work in the five structured modules is such that students will find it very difficult to complete all the requirements in one year.
Students who have completed the course work but have performed unsatisfactorily in the portfolio module, will not be allowed to proceed with the dissertation of limited scope. In meritorious cases, such students will be allowed to resubmit the portfolio. In general, however, such students will exit the programme with the Postgraduate Diploma in History of Education. This exit point also exists for students who decide against proceeding with the dissertation of limited scope.
