University of Derby and ZIGURAT collaborate to facilitate access to PhDs

In a pioneering collaboration, the University of Derby and ZIGURAT Institute of Technology have joined forces to offer master's students in BIM a direct pathway to PhD programmes, marking a milestone in advanced higher education.

The University of Derby, a leading institution in the UK, and ZIGURAT Institute of Technology have established a groundbreaking agreement. This pact opens the doors for BIM master's students at ZIGURAT to progress towards PhD programmes without the need to complete intermediate years of study.

Direct Path to Success

ZIGURAT once again stands out in the academic field by collaborating with the University of Derby, home to over 13,200 students and 100,000 participants in educational programmes. This agreement allows ZIGURAT's BIM students to validate the first year of their Master of Science (MSc), marking a milestone in their education.

Students who successfully complete the BIM programmes at ZIGURAT will not only be able to obtain their MSc online from the University of Derby but also opt for direct access to the coveted PhD programme.

The University of Derby will individually assess candidates for direct access to the PhD, ensuring that each student has the opportunity to reach their highest academic aspirations.

This new collaboration represents a milestone in ZIGURAT's academic trajectory and not only reflects its commitment to educational excellence but also the forward-thinking vision of both institutions.
