DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY IN ECONOMICS

​​​​​​   Philosophy of the Programme

The programme will prepare learners already grounded in the social sciences to deal creatively and effectively with developmental problems. This programme is expected to respond to these challenges in varied ways. First, leveraging its research output to inform development policy and other conversations at the local, regional and global arenas. Secondly, preparing PhD students who have the requisite knowledge, skills and the attitude to advance development agenda in different sectors and levels of the society. The programme with its diversity in background and experience prepares graduates with the cutting edge theoretical and methodological approaches besides rich network with various epistemic communities across the globe. It seeks to empower learners to address the challenges of development by promoting dialogue among research findings, societal needs, and what is being taught. This curriculum takes into account the emerging issues that have implications for development.

Rationale for the Programme

Apart from building on the already existing Masters of Development Programme, introduction of the taught PhD programme in Development studies has been informed by the following factors. A good number of applicants going by previous experiences do not have back ground neither in development studies nor social sciences hence the need for conceptual/theoretical and methodological grounding. It is also envisaged that a taught programme will enable students who have taken some time out from active academic work since their completion of masters programme opportunity to reconnect with the theoretical and conceptual issues besides advancing them in the light of emerging issues.

Overall, the PhD programme in development studies is expected to achieve the following objectives

• Equip students with conceptual, theoretical and analytical grounding in development studies
• Equip students with advanced and cutting edge methodologies in development research.
• Impart students with skills to communicate development knowledge/ research findings to varied audiences.

The main objectives of the programme are to:

• Apply modern economic theory, using analytical and evaluative skills, to understand and solve a variety of economic problems and to make policy evaluations, recommendations, and decisions.
• Possess the analytical, mathematical, and econometric skills needed to engage in and conduct original research. This will include the ability to use modern, extensive, economic datasets. In doing so, students will be able to understand and replicate contemporary findings within economics research.
• Produce and publish original economic research; this includes their dissertations as well as the production of research papers appropriate for peer-reviewed academic journals and submission to economic research conferences.
• Communicate and disseminate knowledge of economics effectively in careers within and outside academia

Doctor of Philosophy in Communication and Information Studies

This programme provides a chance to train a high calibre of professionals in the discipline of communications and information studies. It aims to produce well-grounded scholars with competencies in teaching and research.

Development of this programme was informed by a market survey of the media and communications industry that revealed a dire need of competent and well-skilled communication professionals. Some of these areas that are in urgent need of highly skilled and competent communication professionals include teaching, research, management and various forms of consultancy. Additionally, this curriculum was informed by input from key industry stakeholders who participated at a workshop.

This programme is intended to provide students who wish to undertake doctoral studies in communications with an opportunity to delve into the theoretical and practical depths of communication and information studies.

The programme is informed by the dynamic changes and complexities in the communications landscape, coupled with market trends and industry needs. It is also structured to instil requisite communication skills necessary for the realisation of Vision 2030 and the Sustainable Development Goals.

Many governments and organisations in the region have expressed the need to develop staff locally rather than pursue much more expensive programmes in America, Europe and elsewhere.

This programme is anchored on, and informed by, the vision and mission of the University of Nairobi. The programme seeks to provide quality education in media and communications training in order to produce qualified and competent graduates who are able to engage in sustainable global development.

The general aim of this programme is to offer knowledge and competencies that are critical to the understanding and practice of communication and information as a discipline.

The specific aims are to: 1. Develop academic competences in Communication and Information Studies; 2. Equip the student with critical scholarship skills in communication and information; 3. Equip the student with advanced research knowledge and competencies in research in humanities and social sciences; 4. Provide critical academic grounding in theoretical, philosophical and practical understanding in communication and information; 5. Explore the effects of communications and information on society.

DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY IN INFORMATION SYSTEMS

Philosophy of the Programme The philosophy of the Doctor of Philosophy in Information Systems Programme is to develop and disseminate knowledge in the Information Systems discipline; whilst at the same time influencing Information Systems practitioners’ actions, understanding and policy direction using cutting edge research. In pursuing this philosophy, SCI expects that doctoral candidates shall develop as academic researchers by continuously developing research writing skills as authors of scholarly papers by themselves or co-author with their supervisors for publication in scientific journals and conference proceedings. In addition, the doctoral candidates shall be expected to present findings from their research at various national and international conferences. The School recognizes the dynamic nature and emerging trends in ICT developments, the importance of individual, organizational, communities and societal context, complexities that shall guide the PhD research agenda.

 Rationale Over the recent past, there has been tremendous interest in the field of Information Systems, driven by the market assimilation and institutionalization of IS locally, regionally and globally. The aim of reviewing the programme is to align the programme with the dynamic changes and complexities in the Information System landscape, coupled with the national and regional academic and research needs, as well as industry needs. The programme is also structured to instill requisite Information Systems skills necessary for the realization of Vision 2030 and the Sustainable Development Goals. The review took into consideration the following factors among others: a) best practices b) experiences learnt over the last 4 years, c) alignment to the School’s research strategy, d) analysis of the current program, e) analysis of stakeholder’s feedback, f) alignment the country and regional academic, research and development needs, g) benchmarking with other international doctoral programmes and alignment with the discipline’s Joint task force on Global Competency Model for Graduate Degree Programs in Information Systems Association for Computing Machinery (ACM).

The School of Computing & Informatics has established the following research groups that represent the broad areas of research:

• Distributed Systems
• Software Engineering
• Management Information Systems
• Artificial Intelligence

In addition to the areas stipulated above, other research areas shall be incorporated from time to time as recommended by the Institute of Computer Science Board and the Board of Postgraduate Studies and approved by Senate

A graduate of the Ph.D. programmes will, among others, be able to join research groups in Information Systems or Computer Science at universities or in industry, and teach information systems and/or computer science programmes at both undergraduate and postgraduate levels.

The objectives of the proposed programmes are therefore:

• to provide a progression path for graduates of our MSc. (Computer Science) and MSc. (Information Systems) programmes;
