Sattan Astoni College London is pleased to invite applications for the Executive Doctor of Business Administration (EDBA), an advanced professional doctorate designed for experienced executives, entrepreneurs, senior managers, consultants, policymakers and organisational leaders who aspire to make a lasting impact through evidence-informed leadership and applied research.

Higher Education: More Than a Qualification

Higher education has always represented far more than the pursuit of a certificate or degree. At its best, it is a transformative journey that encourages individuals to question assumptions, develop intellectual curiosity and acquire the knowledge and skills needed to contribute meaningfully to society.

In today’s rapidly changing world, employers increasingly value professionals who can think critically, communicate effectively, solve complex problems and adapt to new challenges. These capabilities are cultivated through meaningful learning experiences rather than memorisation alone.

Education should inspire lifelong curiosity, ethical responsibility and the confidence to embrace innovation while remaining grounded in evidence, professionalism and integrity.

At Sattan Astoni College London, we believe that education should empower individuals to become thoughtful professionals, responsible leaders and lifelong learners prepared to make a positive impact within their organisations and communities.

“Knowledge opens opportunities, but wisdom creates lasting impact.”

Lifelong Learning Should Never Stop

The world is evolving faster than ever before. New technologies, changing industries and global challenges require professionals to continually expand their knowledge and develop new skills throughout their careers.

Lifelong learning is not simply about returning to education—it is about maintaining curiosity, embracing change and remaining committed to personal and professional growth.

Whether through formal study, professional development, workplace learning or independent research, continuous education enables individuals to remain adaptable, innovative and confident in an increasingly competitive environment.

The most successful professionals are often those who recognise that graduation is not the end of learning, but the beginning of a lifelong journey of discovery.

At Sattan Astoni College London, lifelong learning is at the heart of our educational philosophy.

“Every day presents a new opportunity to learn, improve and lead.”

University of Sattan Astoni is now a member of SEAMEO Schools’ Network. This network of schools in the ASEAN Region which was established in 2015 aims to serve as a “Network of Sharing and Development” platform among public and private educational institutions at all levels in all 11 Southeast Asian countries (Brunei Darussalam, Cambodia, Indonesia, Lao PDR, Malaysia, Myanmar, Philippines, Singapore, Thailand, Timor Leste, Vietnam).

On 30 November 2020, the Southeast Asian Ministers of Education Organization (SEAMEO) marks the 55th anniversary of its operation. As a regional inter-governmental organization established among Southeast Asian countries, SEAMEO takes pride in its achievements over the years as Southeast Asian’s leading organization in promoting regional cooperation and human resource development in education, science, and culture.

As a part of the contribution to the Southeast Asian community and the celebration of SEAMEO 55th Anniversary, SEAMEO initiates a project entitled “SEAMEO Schools’ Network 2020”. This project provides an opportunity for educational institutions to join our big family of SEAMEO School Network which was established since 2015.

Being a member of this network, the member academic institutions will gain beneficial opportunities to participate in the capacity development and innovative educational programs, designed and conducted by the 26 SEAMEO Regional Centers and SEAMEO partners.

Aside from capacity development opportunities, UoSA will have the chance to boost its international profile and visibility in international contexts, and build a network and partnership with other member educational institutions around the globe through SEAMEO’s online communication platforms. In the institutional level, UoSA will receive newsletters about ongoing SEAMEO programs, training courses, and activities that cover various topics within the fields of education, science, and culture in the region, as well as receive an invitation to participate in SEAMEO regional programs for the institution level such as SEAMEO Webinars; Schools Nutrition Development Programmes; SEAMEO Schools’ Fit Programme; Digital Learning in Southeast Asia; SEAMEO-Japan ESD Awards; and SEAMEO Mobility Programme.

Moreover, UoSA’s faculty and staff are set to also benefit from this network membership in terms of capacity development of educational leaders, school administrators, and teachers through various training courses/workshops/seminars in both online and face-to-face platforms, access to learning materials produced by SEAMEO Regional Centers and SEAMEO partners, and receive an invitation to participate in SEAMEO regional competitions and award schemes for personnel levels.

Opportunities such as receiving an invitation to participate in SEAMEO regional competitions and award schemes, and an invitation to join online and mobile training courses designed to develop 21st-century skills for students will also be available for UoSA students.

University of Sattan Astoni’s readiness to meet the requirements of SEAMEO made it to the list of SEAMEO Schools’ Network. These requirements are the following:

● Has dedicated personnel with English proficiency to participate in any activities conducted by SEAMEO Regional Centers, SEAMEO stakeholders, and partners

● Has the basic capacity of ICT and Internet access at the institutions

● Has strong interest and willingness indicators: the institutional leader has clearly expressed an interest to participate in this network

why Critical Thinking Matters

Information is more accessible today than at any time in history. However, access to information alone is not enough. The ability to evaluate evidence, question assumptions and make informed decisions has become one of the most valuable skills in modern society.

Critical thinking enables professionals to analyse complex situations, identify reliable evidence and develop balanced solutions to real-world challenges.

Whether working in business, healthcare, education, engineering or public service, strong critical thinking supports better decision-making, improved problem-solving and more effective leadership.

Higher education should encourage learners not simply to accept information but to understand, evaluate and apply it responsibly.

At Sattan Astoni College London, we believe that critical thinking forms the foundation of meaningful learning and responsible professional practice.

“Education teaches us what to know; critical thinking teaches us how to think.”

27/07/2021

Innovation is not limited to technology or scientific discoveries. It begins with curiosity, critical thinking and the willingness to challenge existing ideas in pursuit of better solutions.

Education plays a central role in cultivating innovative thinkers by encouraging creativity, evidence-informed decision-making and interdisciplinary collaboration. Learners who develop these capabilities are better prepared to adapt to changing industries and contribute to organisational growth.

Innovation also requires resilience. Many successful ideas emerge only after experimentation, reflection and continuous improvement.

At Sattan Astoni College London, we believe education should inspire learners to think beyond traditional boundaries and embrace opportunities to solve real-world challenges through knowledge, creativity and responsible leadership.

“Innovation flourishes where curiosity and knowledge meet.”
