EUCLID, an intergovernmental treaty-based organization with university mandate, offers to select students from the general public its flagship external (distance or online) degree program called the EUCLID Online PhD in Global Governance and International Development (DGGID being the program code for this full PhD / Doctorate of Philosophy).
It is the only online PhD program in global governance and international development organized by an intergovernmental institution whose programs are officially used by active diplomats over 4 continents, many of whom have reached high governance levels (ambassador, minister).
This program is an advanced academic program for future academic leaders (professors, deans) and global leaders (NGO leaders, senior civil servants) delivered by a treaty-based and treaty-practicing institution, and as stated by the United Nations in a rare instance of explicit confirmation, “the UN Secretariat recognizes Euclide- Pole Universitaire Euclide and the other four UN institutions … as being accredited.”
EUCLID’s PhD in Global Governance and International Development represents 90 US credits (120 ECTS) of coursework beyond the Bachelor’s (in application of international standards for recognized PhDs). In practice, students may enter the DGG with a relevant Master’s degree, complete 30 to 35 US credits of core doctoral courses, followed by the actual writing of the dissertation in 5 phases. The resulting thesis should be a publishable book offering a clear contribution to the field and establishing the author as a subject-matter expert.
Among the suggested areas of focus are:
