Doctor of Philosophy – Offered in Sri Lanka

Overview

The Doctor of Philosophy (PhD) is an academic degree, typically the highest awarded by any university. In the PhD programme candidates are driven by an urge for systematic persuasion, acquisition and sharing of new knowledge for the benefit of the larger community. While this motive of the doctoral candidate sounds altruistic, his preceding behaviour is always laden with a passion for new knowledge. Doctoral candidates should be obsessed with a passion to construct new knowledge in areas of relevance and high priority as aptly ingrained in the University’s motto ‘Among all that arise, knowledge is the greatest.’
