Universitas Lancang Kuning

1 Programs 1 Degree levels

A research-focused doctoral route offered by Universiti Muhammadiyah Malaysia and promoted to Universitas Lancang Kuning staff. It suits university lecturers or academic staff who need a purely research-based PhD that can be undertaken online without attending formal classes.

What you'll study

The programme model centers on supervised research leading to a doctoral thesis. Unlike the typical Indonesian model that combines coursework and research (often including two years of taught components), this UMAM approach moves straight into research activity without formal classes. Content therefore depends on the candidate's chosen research topic within the social sciences and supervision arrangements provided by UMAM.

Entry requirements

The outreach targeted Unilak lecturers who have not yet undertaken doctoral study (dosen yang belum S3). The event invited those academic staff to consider applying to the PhD at UMAM; specific formal entry criteria beyond this audience focus were not detailed in the source text.

Career prospects

For university lecturers, obtaining a PhD through this research-based route supports academic promotion, strengthens research capability, and aligns with institutional expectations that a doctoral degree is increasingly a professional requirement for teaching staff. The qualification is aimed at enhancing both teaching quality and research outputs at the home institution.

Scholarships & funding angle

The source did not list scholarships or funding specifics. Prospective applicants should enquire directly with UMAM and Unilak about available financial support, study-mode fees, or institutional sponsorship for staff pursuing doctoral study abroad or online.
