BACK TO BROWSE BY SCHOOL/DEPARTMENT  


INTRODUCTION

The King's India Institute, founded in 2008, provides a focal point for India-related activities across a range of academic disciplines. Promoting an understanding of India and developing the profile of Indian Studies at the university level in the UK, the Institute coordinates and develops India-related research capabilities and India-focused programmes of study at King's, while also building links with Indian organizations in education, the cultural and creative sectors, business and government. Through these activities, and as part of the College's broader internationalisation strategy, the Institute aims to contribute to a growing interdisciplinary interest in India among both students and academics at King's. The Institute will launch its first taught graduate programme, the MA Modern India, and a new PhD in Contemporary India Research in September 2011.


FACILITIES

The Institute is based at the College's Strand Campus, in the heart of central London. The College’s Maughan Library, the British Library, and the diverse cultural venues of London make the city a resource centre for Indian Studies which is unparalleled in Europe.

FUNDING

The India Institute offers its own PhD studentship. Details of this, and information on other funding opportunities from King's College London and external organisations, can be found in the graduate funding database at http://www.kcl.ac.uk/graduate/funding/database.
