Webinar Overview: Guiding Your Doctoral Journey

Scheduled for 16 May 2026 at 4:00 PM (Thai Time), the orientation webinar is positioned as a key academic milestone for EBU’s PhD scholars. More than an introductory session, it is intended to help students meaningfully situate themselves within the doctoral journey, understanding what lies ahead, how to approach research with confidence, and how to align their work with international academic expectations.

Through this session, participants will gain a clearer sense of direction, not only in terms of academic requirements but also in shaping their identity as researchers within a global scholarly environment.

Building a Globally Connected Research Learning Environment

This PhD orientation webinar is part of East Bridge University’s growing focus on Collaborative Online International Learning (COIL) practices that encourage interaction among scholars, researchers, learners, and students across regions and disciplines. Through our digitally facilitated academic engagements, we provide a platform for participants where they can exchange perspectives, discuss research interests, and become part of a broader international scholarly community.

By creating opportunities for cross-border academic dialogue and peer learning, EBU continues to strengthen its commitment to accessible, globally connected doctoral education that extends beyond geographical boundaries.
