I have chosen CEADESE to do my Ph. D because it has a good and diversified programmes. The fact thatthe center uses lecturers from different colleges of the FUNAAB allows it to havegood and long track record lecturers for teaching and supervisory. Besides, CEADESE is also a practical training-focused centre where many practical trainings are often organized through workshops, preparing then its students for professional experience.
