Humanities & Social Sciences

Absolutely, one can definitely pursue a PhD in History! It's a well-established and vibrant field of doctoral study. A PhD in History typically involves in-depth research into a specific historical period, region, or theme, leading to the production of an original dissertation. You would work closely with a faculty supervisor, engaging in extensive archival research, critical analysis of sources, and contributing new knowledge to the historical discourse. This academic journey prepares individuals for careers in academia (professorships, research), museum curation, archival management, historical consulting, or public policy roles requiring historical expertise. Universities worldwide with strong humanities and social sciences departments offer PhD programs in History.

For admission to the BA in Journalism and Mass Communication programme at Dibrugarh University, typically, an entrance examination is conducted. While some BA courses at Dibrugarh University might admit students based solely on 12th-grade merit, professional and specialised programs like Journalism and Mass Communication often have their own specific entrance tests to assess aptitude, general knowledge, and communication skills. It's always advisable to check the official Dibrugarh University admission prospectus for the current academic year for the Centre for Studies in Journalism and Mass Communication. This will provide precise details on whether an entrance exam is required for the BA programme and what its format and syllabus entail.

You can investigate fully funded opportunities overseas. Some examples are the Elizabeth Neuffer Fellowship in the US, the KAUST VSRP Internship in Saudi Arabia, or the Erasmus University programme in the Netherlands; these will usually be fully funded and potentially cover tuition, living expenses, and travel. Of course, there are great opportunities locally or in writing an international grant which would not require fellowship attention. There are plenty of social impact programs like the Yale World Fellows, or Salzburg Global Seminar in Austria. There are opportunites in Canada, Sweden, and South Africa which focus on social work and development. Consider unique fellowship opportunities - look for opportunities that have leadership, community engagement, development experience woven through their opportunities, and think how your MSW and PGP DM background can dovetail in the experience.
