Doctor of Philosophy (PhD) in Public Administration and Management (By Research)
The PhD in Public Administration and Management will be the highest academic degree awarded in the study of public administration, Governance, management and administrative sciences at Kabale University. The degree is designed for those seeking academic research and teaching careers as faculty or professors in the study of governance, public administration, management and administrative sectors within Universities but also as professional career managers and administrators for a wide range of organizational contexts. Administration and Management systems are the blood of effective organizations. Yet, there is scarcity of trained experts and practitioners at doctoral level with skills, competences and appropriate attitudes to address the management and administrative issues in practical contexts within the dictates of the 21st century demands. In Ugandan Universities, there are some doctoral programs in management and administration but only undertaken by research only as opposed to a combination of coursework and dissertation; which this new programme adopts.
