Graduate Education
Graduate students at PUST receive an education influenced by faculty who are experts in their fields and implement sophisticated teaching methods through multiple delivery methods. Our graduate programs are designed to accommodate the learning style appropriate to each program. Most graduate programs allow students to work full-time and take online courses, as well as work directly with faculty to have flexible schedules. Online courses include reading assignments, synchronous or asynchronous lectures, interactive discussions, and team and individual assignments. Seeing the need for graduate education in the developing world, PUST has been collaborating with five Indian universities on a pilot graduate program since 2009 under the Pan-African e-Network project with support from the Indian Government. PUST has also partnered with universities across Africa, Asia, and Europe to offer graduate programs.
PUST Certificate Program offers a variety of professional development certificates designed to enhance one’s knowledge and skills. A certificate program from PUST will provide students with hands-on, interactive, small cohort learning experiences that will enable them to gain skills they can apply immediately to their organizations and businesses.
There are two types of English certificates offered by PUST: the Academic Preparation English certificate for students admitted to a degree program but lacking English language proficiency, and Professional Certificate designed to develop and enhance critical professional skills for success in today’s most in-demand fields.
