NIAS, Bangalore : Ph.D. Admissions 2021

About NIAS, Bangalore : Ph.D. Admissions 2021

The National Institute of Advanced Studies (NIAS) was conceived and established in 1988 by the vision and initiative of the late Mr J R D Tata primarily to nurture a broad base of scholars, managers and leaders to address complex and important challenges faced by society through interdisciplinary approaches, as well as to conduct advanced multidisciplinary research in areas of the humanities, social sciences, natural sciences and engineering, as well as in conflict and security studies. The Institute promotes transdisciplinary research and builds synergy within and across disciplines with meaningful interactions. NIAS has thus been recognised as an “Institute of Exceptional Repute” by the NITI Aayog.

NIAS is looking for exceptionally motivated students, interested in pursuing interdisciplinary research in conflict and security studies, natural and engineering sciences, social sciences, humanities or the arts. Unencumbered by the constraints of traditional disciplinary doctoral research, NIAS doctoral students have a unique opportunity to broaden their intellectual horizons, even beyond the limits of the domains listed below. NIAS not only values such cross-pollination of ideas but encourages and strongly supports its students to develop interdisciplinary approaches to problems that span academic disciplines. This interdisciplinary ethos is also reflected in the work of its faculty and research scholars over the years.
