Additional Information
| Description | 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. |
