Programme Overview

The PhD program in Polymer Science at Somaiya School of Applied and Basic Sciences ,Somaiya Vidyavihar University is meticulously designed to meet the rigorous standards set by the University Grants Commission (UGC). The quality and content of the research is at par with any advanced educational institution/university in India or abroad. This Ph.D. program transcends the pursuit of an additional degree, instead of embodying a passion-driven journey to expand the boundaries of human knowledge. Ambitious researchers are invited to join our vibrant academic community through the prestigious SVU-JRF Fellowship Program, which offers financial assistance in accordance with UGC norms.

The department fosters a strong research culture, where students actively contribute to innovative research. With a growing number of publications, the department is at the forefront of advancements in diverse areas, including polymeric waste recycling and sustainable polymers, light-emitting and conducting polymers, renewable resources, high-performance polymers, natural products and textiles, computational and Quantum chemistry, electron-induced chemistry and polymerization, and Astro chemically relevant polymeric materials. Through its dynamic research environment, the department continues to drive scientific progress and innovation in polymer science.
