African Academic Student Development Programme

Online Doctoral Proposal Development

We will take you through every stage of your Doctoral Proposal development journey. You can follow along with the sessions in order, or you can join us for those sessions that you feel you need extra help with. We are here to accelerate all your offerings, however, so do not miss out on anything because you feel you have dealt with it already. You can always improve on what you have!
