About the Programme

Vision

This programme envisages the idea of holistic and integrated learning aimed at breaking disciplinary silos between pure sciences, social sciences and humanities. The programme seeks to re-imagine learning in ways that foster intellectual curiosity, ability to raise critical questions and most important to develop a sense of social justice, equity and empathy while engaging with complex global realities. We envision graduates to participate meaningfully across industries and sectors given the interdisciplinary and transdisciplinary ethos of the programme. Diversity and inclusion would be the key components of this programme with an emphasis on critical and reflexive approaches to learning.
