Department of International Relations and Politics

The mission of the School of International Relations and Politics (SIRP) is to provide the highest quality post-graduate and M.Phil/PhD programmes in the frontier areas of Political Science, Public Policy, International Relations and Human Rights, shaped by the distinctive perspectives of the Faculty of the School.

To provide education of the highest quality with the emphasis on mutual respect, social harmony, sustainable development and world peace, SIRP’s mission keeps in perspective the dynamic role of a caring Faculty committed to creating an open and cooperative learning environment.

The teaching-learning process at SIRP is shaped by a view of higher education as a process of developing a critical faculty on questions of polity, governance, culture, economy and international society so that the students will become involved learners.

The School also provides wide-ranging opportunities for students and faculty to interact with each other as persons, to learn from each other in a cooperative community, an important aspect of which is collaborative student/faculty research.
