PROGRAM SUMMARY
The postgraduate program at IKMAS emphasizes research within the social sciences with focus on various disciplines especially economics, sociology, political science, law and culture. The program is research-driven within the framework of inter-regionalism, connectivity and inclusive development.
Doctoral candidates at IKMAS embark on a rigorous journey, one that is multidisciplinary in nature and leading them to a deep understanding of historical and contemporary transformations, bearing in mind the interests of Malaysian society. The various dimensions of globalisation and occidentalism are essential to the multiple processes of social inequalities, for example economic differentiation and competition, as well as processes that impact class, ethic, gender, politics and identity.
The mandatory courses – Research Methodology and two courses on Globalisation and Occidentalism – equip our doctoral candidates with fundamental theories, conceptual frameworks, and research skills relevant to their chosen disciplines.
LIFE AT THE FACULTY
IKMAS is located at the heart of the university’s main campus about 35 kilometers south of Kuala Lumpur, the capital city of Malaysia. A wide range of facilities are available on the campus grounds for both academic and extracurricular activities. IKMAS graduates also benefit from the institute’s active networking with international and local bodies that leads to the organization of multiple events and programs every year. The graduates’ involvement in the four levels of IKMAS Postgraduate Seminar during the duration of their study provides them the platform to present their research work, engage with peers and research fellows for intellectual interactions and discourse. Academic counsel from the esteemed members of institute’s International Advisory Board, Adjunct Professors and Distinguished International Professors is an added bonus.
