Name of Program: M.Sc. in Vedic Sciences
Duration: 2 Years
Program Highlights: 1.5 years course work, 0.5 year project
Skills Acquired: Proficiency in a specific Vedic Science subject

Objectives

M.Sc. in Vedic Sciences and other post-graduate programs from MIT IIKS are designed to groom the next generation of ambassadors of Vedic Sciences, who can study and authentically articulate the Indic scientific tradition, and bridge the gap between Indian and modern scientific discourse. The objective is to specifically groom a generation of experts who can perform independent and application-oriented study of Vedic concepts for modern times.

IIKS’ strategy is to impart Vedic Science education at a level more suited to modern audience. Instead of focusing on deep shaastra expertise, IIKS  has designed its curriculum and programs to familiarize modern students with the methods used in Vedic Sciences and equip them with sufficient foundational knowledge and interpretative skills to enable practical application, further study and research.
