About

At University Kebangsaan Malaysia we produce graduates who adhere to inclusive and critical approaches in academic analysis and public advocacy in Ethnic Studies at national and international levels.

Overview

This Ethnic Studies phd programme is offered at the University Kebangsaan Malaysia.

Features 

  • KITA is the only full-fledged research institute in Malaysia focusing specifically on ‘ethnic studies.’ 
  • Although academically, KITA has a ‘thematic studies’ orientation, it, however, draws its strength from both ‘disciplinary studies’ as well as ‘area studies,’ thus encouraging cross-disciplinary activities, involving three major sectors of the society, namely, the public, the private, and the community sectors. 

Programme Structure

Curriculum: 

  • It is well-known that, globally, ethnic studies have emerged mostly from traumatic and even turbulent, violent circumstances. 
  • However, in Malaysia’s case, the frequently asked question is “how is it that she has been able to sustain, comparatively and relatively, stable and harmonious inter-ethnic relations?”. The pursuit of some credible answers for such questions motivates the establishment of KITA.
