Application and admissions procedure

Employability and progression opportunities

GPISH aims to train graduates for leadership positions and runs enrichment activities including a Leadership Workshop and Careers Seminars. Interviews for internships following successful completion of the programme also form part of these, and appropriately qualified students will be offered short-term internship opportunities.

PhD Scholarships

For those students who are interested in deepening their analysis and contributing intellectually to the academic world, as well as to the Institute and the Ismaili community, IIS offers a limited number of scholarships to pursue studies at doctoral level. There is a great need for research in Islamic studies. The most relevant to the Institute’s research needs are Ismaili studies, wider Shi‘i studies, Qur’anic studies, Islamic law, Education, and Manuscript Studies. Scholarships are also open to any area in which Islam can be analysed in one of its various manifestations (historical, theological, philosophical, legal, educational, political, ritual or cultural). Research can be conducted from any of the various perspectives and disciplines related to the humanities and social sciences.
