| Each
of these programs brings groups of students to
the Institute in January for an intensive course
in Buddhist philosophy, Indo-Tibetan hermeneutics,
Tibetan history and culture taught by the faculty
of CIHTS.
Faculty
members from the University of Tasmania and the
Five Colleges accompany the students and teach
Western subjects at the Institute, including Philosophy,
Computer Science, Sociology, History, Administration,
Political Science and Logic.
Faculty
members from CIHTS teach regularly at the University
of Tasmania and Smith and Hampshire Colleges in
the U.S. Students receive stipends for such study.
For instance, the Ven.
Sonam Thackchoe completed his PhD in philosophy
at the University of Tasmania and has become a
staff member of the University of Tasmania Philosophy
Department. Many other Tibetan students are pursuing
undergraduate degrees through this program.
