Firstly, most Universities do not have as much Doctoral research supervisory capacity as they would like. Secondly, many good students are denied admission because they lack informed advice and guidance as to the identification and drafting of their research proposal and have had little or no assistance in choosing the right international University best suited to their proposed area of research.
To address these realities, CIEC have launched the CIEC PhD Advantage which is designed to better help qualified students gain admission to a UK or international University to study for a Doctoral research degree by addressing these problems. Under this scheme a member of the CIEC PhD Panel will work with a prospective Doctoral student and help them to draft a suitable Research Proposal and offer assistance as to which Universities the student should submit their proposal.
CIEC has a developed profile in respect of providing distance/blended learning for tertiary education and professional training. So, for example, we are currently developing a global distance learning and online MBA for a major UK University as well as online training programmes for major organisations. By virtue of this profile we have globally recognised expertise in developing e Texts and VLE related teaching and learning materials.
A number of the CIEC Senior Management Team of Consultants are willing to consider appointment as a Visiting Professor at a suitable client institution and in this role provide an agreed number of staff development seminars and a number of lectures to your student community.
CIEC is currently involved in a number of major projects both in the UK and internationally. They include delivering MBA and MPhil programmes to UK and international Business Schools, training English language teachers in Curitiba, Brazil and establishing undergraduate and postgraduate provision in Middle Eastern countries. Further, we are developing the curricula for all levels of new schools in various countries including Qatar and establishing English Centres in Africa.
We are also currently working to offer UK Ofqual regulated professional qualifications in conjunction with an established CIEC satellite centre in China.

Agnes Gan studied on our Pre-Undergraduate Foundation Programme in Business and Management.
