Introduction

Welcome to the Centre for Postgraduate Studies (CPS), a dynamic initiative of Villa College established on August 26, 2019 through directive (REC/2019/03) from the Vice-Rector. The creation of CPS was driven by the desire to streamline the functions of the Institute for Research and Innovation (IRI), with IRI and CPS each responsible for specific roles.

As a key component of Villa College, CPS is charged with fulfilling four important responsibilities: managing and coordinating supervision for postgraduate research, providing research support activities, designing and delivering research-based academic programs, and developing and reviewing research-related policies, procedures, and guidelines.

Under the direction of Dr. Mohamed Adil, the Deputy Vice Rector, CPS is expertly led by Dean, (Adjunct-Assistant Professor of FES & FET), Dr. Ibrahim Latheef, who is committed to ensuring the smooth and effective operation of this vital component of Villa College.
