Comprehensive academic background, including a Professional Doctorate in International Business from EIU-Paris”
A professional doctorate offered by the European International University (EIU-Paris) is one of the highest award in which the candidates go through a series of rigorous audit and evaluation of their personal and professional profiles and accomplishments along with significant contributions to society. In the French education system, this is popularly known as the VAE or Validation des Acquis de l’Expérience. The VAE is a procedure used to assess and recognize prior learning outcomes, consequently allowing any French educational institution to grant degrees partly or completely based on one’s substantiated work experience.
Focus: It typically emphasizes practical applications and applied knowledge within a specific field, such as business administration (DBA), education (Ed.D.), or psychology (Psy.D.). This contrasts with a traditional PhD, which usually delves deeper into theoretical research and contributing to academic knowledge.
“Obtaining a leadership doctorate in International Business at this stage in my life feels like a fitting capstone to a career built on continuous striving. The publication of my story, detailing the path to success, leaves a lasting legacy.
Panos
Their professional doctorate programs acknowledge the recipient’s extensive experience and expertise in their field, rather than focusing solely on traditional doctoral-level research.
Professional Doctorate from EIU-Paris via VAE (Validation des Acquis de l’Expérience) acknowledges and takes into account the actual translation of knowledge and expertise into real life application and contributions to society which makes it more prevailing than a traditional PhD with limited research (very narrow) and eventually the thesis sits on university shelf collecting dust. said ky.
