Message from Dean,

School of Graduate Studies

Setting new standards for academic integrity in the era of AI.

Dr. Robert Kati

Dean, School of Graduate Studies

At the School of Graduate Studies, we remain committed to fostering a culture of academic excellence, innovative research, and ethical scholarship. Guided by our mission to nurture well-rounded, forward-thinking researchers, we continuously strengthen our policies, academic structures, and support systems to meet the evolving needs of postgraduate education in a rapidly changing world.

In recent years, the School has undertaken several transformative initiatives aimed at enhancing the quality and integrity of graduate training. These include the development of clearer guidelines for responsible and ethical use of emerging technologies such as Artificial Intelligence, the establishment of discipline-specific manuals to support methodological rigor, and the expansion of training platforms that empower both students and supervisors. Through seminars, research dissemination forums, and collaborative engagements with local and international partners, we continue to elevate the standards of supervision, scholarly inquiry, and knowledge exchange.

Our graduate community thrives on curiosity, critical thinking, and a deep commitment to societal impact. We take immense pride in the resilience and intellectual growth our students demonstrate as they refine ideas, challenge assumptions, and contribute new knowledge to their fields. Their achievements reflect not only personal dedication but also the collective effort of supervisors, mentors, and academic leaders who uphold the highest standards of postgraduate education.

As you engage with our School — whether as a prospective student, a continuing scholar, or a research partner — I invite you to explore the wealth of opportunities we offer. Together, we will continue cultivating an environment where innovation flourishes, scholarship is valued, and graduates are empowered to shape a better future for their communities and the world.
