Since its inception in 2015, CERM-ESA has established two postgraduate programmes at Moi University:
(i) Master’s Programme in Education (Research) and
(ii) DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY (PHD) DEGREE IN EDUCATIONAL RESEARCH AND EVALUATION
For both programmes, DAAD – through CERM-ESA and its ‘In-region/in-country scholarship programme’ – provides scholarships on an annual basis in a competitive process. Besides the scholarships, CERM-ESA’s academic programme includes annual international Research Schools facilitated by all partner institutions, weekly online colloquia for CERM-ESA students and international co-supervision of the Master’s theses produced in the programme.
