Post Doctoral Fellowship Program

The Post Doc Fellowship Program is a cutting-edge, industry-oriented research initiative designed for professionals, doctorates, and researchers seeking hands-on expertise in social sciences and technology. Unlike traditional academic degrees/certifications, this program emphasizes real-world problem-solving, industry collaboration, and research-driven innovation. 

Participants engage in structured coursework, collaborative projects, and industry mentorship, culminating in a publishable research report. The program is ideal for those looking to enhance their technical skills, contribute to industry advancements, and stand out in competitive job markets. 

1. Develop applied research skills aligned with industry demands. 

2. Foster innovation through problem-based learning. 

3. Enhance employability with hands-on project experience. 

4. Encourage interdisciplinary collaboration between academia and industry. 

5. Produce high-quality research outputs (research publications, reports, presentations, white papers). 

 1. Solve industry challenges through applied research.   

2. Develop publishable work (white papers, journals, patents).   

3. Build a professional network with experts and peers.   

4. Gain certification recognized by partner industries.    

1. Commerce and Management
