Undertaken full-time over three years, or part-time over six years, the PhD in South Asian Studies is a research degree in which people explore in depth a piece of theoretical, and/or methodological, and/or substantive, research on a topic of their choice.
Edinburgh South Asian Studies is one of the UK’s leading centres of excellence and is the largest such Centre outside London. For social sciences, it offers a wider range of expertise than anywhere else in the UK and is a leader within Europe.
We are deeply committed to our students at all levels, and to investigating the social world cross-culturally as well as within Scotland and the UK generally. We have a large, vibrant, intellectually stimulating and international community of postgraduate students from the UK, Europe, the Nordic countries, North America, Asia and Africa.
Contents
PhD researchers in South Asian Studies are allocated a supervisor and a co-supervisor, who will advise on the entirety of the research process, from reading and assembling ideas, to fieldwork, to analysing empirical or theoretical materials, to writing up chapters, to completing the thesis, to the viva which rounds off the process. There is a regular progress review, to discuss ideas, review progress and provide help and support where necessary. The supervisors and the Postgraduate Advisor are there to facilitate the existence of a supportive framework and to promote an active and sustaining research culture for our PhD students.
