MSW and PhD Programs
The Center for Women’s Empowerment and Gender Equality (CWEGE) of Amrita Vishwa Vidyapeetham promotes societal transformation through participatory action research, education and implementation. CWEGE presently hosts two graduate programs, a Ph. D. program and a Masters of Social Work, under the Faculty of Humanities and Social Sciences. Both courses train students to engage deeply with the relevant areas of study under the six verticals and to apply their knowledge practically. The coursework is tied with fieldwork, and all students spend extended time working closely with communities in villages across the country.
