Common Curriculum
Experience a truly multidisciplinary higher education
The Common Curriculum of the BA/BSc undergraduate programme is a unique blend of courses that bring together values, skills, and capacities for a successful future. All undergraduate students, irrespective of their majors, are expected to complete a set of these courses.
Students will have the following courses in the Common Curriculum:
The Understanding India set of courses are designed to allow students the opportunity to explore different perspectives on our country, in order to better situate themselves within the Indian context. These courses prepare students to meaningfully participate in building a just, humane, and sustainable society in the future.
Understanding India 1: The Many Pasts of India’s Present: Students engage with significant aspects of our pasts, to see how these relate to the present of India
Understanding India 2: Who is an Indian?: Students explore identities and belonging in the context of contemporary India
Understanding India 3: The Measure of India: Students engage with numbers and data to acquire a statistical understanding of some of the key issues in the Indian context
Students can choose to do two courses out of a vast and varied set of course offerings that are based on principles of embodied learning and inculcate skills and capacities that they would otherwise not be exposed to in a regular classroom.
Students take advanced reading and writing courses with peers across different majors. They are also required to do a course in Public Reasoning or Quantitative Reasoning.
