The Ph.D. program in International Studies offered by the Department of Political Science, International Studies and History is a doctorate-level program that aims to groom students into well-rounded research scholars. Challenging and enriching, this program is especially promising to students seeking careers in academics and research, that can span across institutions of education, research, media and so on, in both public and private sectors. It is an apt academic option for future academicians, researchers and policymakers looking to gain knowledge, skills and intellect that can be applied to international relations.
Driven to contribute new research and fresh perspectives to the discipline, the Department of International Studies and History has designed the curriculum to be inter and multi-disciplinary, accommodating theoretical, philosophical and analytical aspects of international relations. Research initiatives that connect international relations with history, economics, law, languages and such other disciplines are particularly welcomed and encouraged, as the program recognises inter and multi-disciplinary research to be the way forward.
