We offer two programmes of graduate studies, a one-year M.Phil. and a research Ph.D. In both cases we usually expect candidates to hold a high Second or a First class BA degree. Funding opportunities may be available.

M.Phil. in Sanskrit and South Asian Studies

The M.Phil. in Sanskrit and South Asian Studies is a one-year course designed to promote an understanding of the region’s rich and complex cultural, religious and intellectual histories through the extensive corpus of textual sources in Sanskrit, Pali and Prakrit.
