After completing your doctoral degree, a post-doctorate degree is the next practical step to pursue further education and further specification in your area of study. A postdoctoral certificate could be the decision needed to further your education and prove your mastery in your field. AIU post-doctorate programs offer students a chance to further their studies and demonstrate the breadth of their knowledge. Your AIU Postdoctoral Research program at AIU will be a custom-made program, designed just for you by you and your advisor. This flexibility to meet your needs is seldom found in other distance research programs.
