Ask Us Anything: Undergraduate Programmes
A conversation on undergraduate programmes, learning, admissions, and life at Azim Premji University
Details
About the session
Choosing what to study after school is a significant decision. You may have a clear subject in mind, several interests you want to pursue, or no idea yet about what you want to study.
What does it mean to study a subject at university rather than at school? How do you choose between different disciplines? What happens when your interests change? What will you learn inside and outside the classroom? And how do you know if a particular programme and university are right for you?
These are not only questions about choosing a programme. They are questions about the kind of education you want, the questions you want to engage with, and the ways you want to learn.
This Question and Answer (Q&A) session will help you understand undergraduate education at Azim Premji University in greater depth. We will introduce the University’s undergraduate programmes, talk about the academic experience and ways of learning, explain the admissions process, and discuss what student life at the University involves.
