A graduate study is one of the educational pathways for those who want to improve one’s career prospects or job satisfaction, for an intellectual challenge, or to pursue a long-standing interest.

The PhD education focuses on training in original and independent scholarship, while the master’s degree programmes either in full research mode or in coursework mode prepare graduate students for careers in public or private sectors and professional practice.
The graduate programmes of study at MSU emphasise a number of distinctive and desirable features – including high level engagements between local as well as international faculty and graduates. All of the programmes offered are supported and complemented by a wide range of interdisciplinary units, which result in the promotion of intellectual activities and research across the university.
The SGS provides support to graduates throughout their learning experience at the MSU, as well as provides a creative and innovative teaching and delivery method, a global leadership programme and social facilities.
