Conducting Research At FGS-KDU

KDU strives to strengthen the research landscape of the institution in particular and of the country in general. We believe our research should largely cater for the needs of the society, country and the world. Research at KDU stands for publications in high impact journals, establishing collaborations with local and foreign research groups/ institutes and commercialization of research. Our Academic staff develops knowledge and innovations in areas, as diverse as, health, biomedicine, biotechnology, engineering & technology, computing, social sciences, international relations, etc. The FGS creates a platform for our postgraduate students to work with our academics and to practice their knowledge with hands-on experience through research. In this endeavor, KDU academics and students often work together as teams, bringing their research ideas on to one platform and coming up with new knowledge and innovations.

Academics from diverse fields to choose your research supervisor 

We have academics in our faculties, who are passionate on their subject and therefore are constantly engaged in research to update their knowledge. As our postgraduate students, we want to provide you with opportunities to be trained as the future scientists, policy makers and experts in the profession. 

Resources and facilities for research

We provide open access to resources for researchers, through our state of the art laboratory facilities, such the Biomedical Research Laboratories at the Faculty of Medicine, Wind Tunnel and 24x7 Research Lab at the Faculty of Engineering, and a High-end Computer Modeling and Simulation Lab at the Faculty of Computing. 

KDU has an Office of the Dean Research and Development (ODRD), which focuses on supporting and promoting research of KDU staff and the students. ODRD offers Research Grants, financial support for participating in research conferences both local and overseas, and article processing fees for publishing in high impact journals. You can discuss with your supervisor and apply for a research grant in support of your research degree at KDU.

To facilitate commercialization of research through establishing public-private partnerships as well as collaborations with other the state sector institutes, KDU has established its Institute for Combinatorial Advanced Research and Education (KDU-CARE). KDU-CARE aims to support to commercialize its research findings by bridging the gap between the university and the industry. You can reach the KDU-CARE for potential opportunities to bring your research findings to a next level, after your degree.

Platforms to disseminate your research findings

KDU organizes an annual International Research Conference (IRC), where researchers from around the world can disseminate their findings. The FGS publishes a bi-annual journal, The KDU- Multidisciplinary journal, which is an indexed peer reviewed journal, which attracts articles from both local and foreign researchers. As postgraduate students, you can disseminate your research findings to the world, by presenting publishing you research findings at our KDU-IRC, or publishing in one of our KDU journals.
