At the forefront of impactful
Research in Sciences and Humanities
The Full-Time PhD entails coursework, teaching, and dissertation. Scholars are required to reside on campus (during term time) for the entire duration of the programme.
The Part-time programme or the Faculty Improvement Programme (FIP) is designed for professionals looking to further their research interests while also enhancing career prospects. Scholars opting for this category are required to stay on campus for the first term of the programme and visit campus as and when required, based on suggestions from the advisor and the Doctoral Committee (DC).
Since its inception, Krea has focused on building an institution with exceptional research calibre. The PhD programme is, therefore, designed to be a holistic research experience that places equal importance on learning within and outside the classroom. Alongside rigorous coursework and support for writing the dissertation, PhD scholars at Krea will have access to cutting-edge research infrastructure and the requisite training to utilise these resources. The research governance and support structures at Krea are conducive to academic endeavours such as attending and hosting conferences, workshops, and thematic meetings. Furthermore, the programme creates avenues for collaborative, multidisciplinary research through Guest Lectures, cross-faculty consultation, and open-question seminars.
The PhD experience is envisioned to align with Krea University’s mission to help humanity prepare for an unpredictable world. It is an experiential programme that encourages scholars to constantly engage with the world around them.
Krea is a budding research institute that has already made strides in the short period of its existence and we see the doctoral programme as a natural progression in this journey. Counting on the strengths of our acclaimed faculty and upcoming high-end research facilities, we are confident that our PhD scholars will make significant contributions to further the horizons of knowledge in various disciplines.
We take this opportunity to invite PhD aspirants to apply for the Doctoral Programme at Krea University for the Academic Year 2024-2025.
