The Centre for International Studies and Diplomacy (CISD) invites applications from candidates interested in pursuing MPhil/PhD degrees with a focus on interdisciplinary research in global studies aligned with our faculty's expertise and research initiatives. This program has two key dimensions: thematically, it examines modern globalization trends along with the political, economic, social, and cultural frameworks that influence them. Unlike conventional International Studies that primarily explore relations between nations, this program concentrates on understanding globalization's current state, development, and globally relevant challenges from both theoretical and practical standpoints. Methodologically, the program encourages interdisciplinary approaches to studying modern globalization. Research projects will investigate how individuals, institutions, organizations, and nations interact to shape global dynamics, drawing insights from at least two of these fields: International Studies and Politics, Law, Economics, Management Studies, Development Studies, History, or Media and Communication Studies.

Qualification Requirements

The Centre for International Studies and Diplomacy (CISD) welcomes applications from prospective MPhil/PhD students wishing to undertake multi-disciplinary research in areas of global studies that relate to the research interests of Centre members and the Centre's research programmes. The specific focus of this research programme is twofold: thematically, the programme addresses the analysis of contemporary globalisation processes and of the political, economic, social and cultural relationships and structures that define and shape these processes. Rather than, for example, the study of inter-state or inter-nation relations and agreements that is the traditional domain of International Studies, the core focus of this programme is on the study of the nature and evolution of contemporary globalisation itself and on globally shared issues, from a theoretical as well as a policy perspective. Methodologically, the programme promotes the multi-disciplinary analysis of contemporary globalisation processes. Research topics and projects will analyse the role of, and interchanges between, people, institutions, organisations and states in shaping globalisation dynamics through the prism of (at least) two of the following academic disciplines: International Studies and Politics, Law, Economics, Management Studies, Development Studies, History, Media and Communication Studies.
