This programme is the first of its kind in Egypt and the Middle East. The programme meets the needs of students who hold a Master’s degree in English for Specific Purposes and Teaching English (TEFL/TESOL) or Linguistics/Applied Linguistics and wish to obtain a PhD degree in one of the fields of this specialization. The programme provides students with the opportunity to pursue research in several fields including teaching in the digital age, assessment, curriculum design, programme evaluation, learner psychology, the relationship between pragmatics and teaching and teacher training. The programme also gives the students the opportunity to focus on one of these areas in their dissertations. This qualifies students to obtain a PhD degree in English for Specific purposes, which is one of the recent fields with regard to teaching English language in public and private universities, whether inside or outside Egypt.
