3 Years On Campus Phd Program

National University of Singapore NUS

Program Overview

Officially launched in 2013, the Comparative Asian Studies (CAS) PhD programme was founded as part of a broader initiative to position the National University of Singapore as a leader in global Asian Studies. Attuned to Asia s interconnectedness and its deepening integration at the local level, the CAS PhD programme was established in recognition that future thought leaders would require a thorough understanding of Asian dynamics in breadth and depth. One of the programme s distinctive features is its attention to inter-Asian connections across regional boundaries and cultural zones. Our specially tailored curriculum provides an innovative, interdisciplinary training for students interested in the critical analysis of the myriad links that span Asia s regions and sub-regions.
