Dr. Panos Manolopoulos :
Comprehensive academic background, including a PhD in International Business from the Economist Intelligence Unit in Paris"
The Professional Doctorate degree offered by the European International University (EIU-Paris) is one of the highest awards, and candidates undergo a series of rigorous audits and evaluations that assess their personal and professional profile and achievements, as well as their significant contribution to society. In the French education system, this is often referred to as VAE or Validation des Acquis de l'Expérience. The VAE is a procedure used to assess and recognize prior learning outcomes and thus allows any French educational institution to award degrees based partially or entirely on a person's proven work experience.
Focus: It typically emphasizes practical application and applied knowledge within a specific field, such as business administration (DBA), education (Ed.D.), or psychology (Psy.D.). This is in stark contrast to the traditional doctorate, which usually delves deeper into theoretical research and contributes scholarly knowledge.
