MDC SA 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 MDC SA 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.
MDC SA is delighted to work with UNISA in the development of this programme, and has an excellent reputation for the delivery of distance education to busy individuals.
We can now offer: the degree of doctor of education (DEd)
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 MDC SA administration and resource centres. It is based on MDC SA “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.
Advantages of Locally Supported Distance Education

curriculum
A thesis:
· The research proposal may be on an educational topic of the applicant's choice, but the proposal must meet with specific requirements. · Registration remains provisional until the research proposal has been formally accepted by Faculty experts in the relevant field. · At Unisa the supervisor provides the student with research guidance by correspondence. Research consultation visits to the main campus might be necessary in the course of the study, but these depend entirely on the supervisor’s discretion and the student’s personal circumstances. The costs of such visits (including travel and accommodation) must be carried by the student. · Depending on the nature of the study, the Faculty might appoint a co-supervisor. · Students from outside South Africa must take note that Unisa requires the appointment of a co-supervisor in the student's country of residence. The student may nominate candidates for this position. · Once the student has successfully completed the research, the essence, or important aspects of the research project, must be disseminated through one or more research articles.
