Academic Framework

Since its beginning, the foundation of higher education within UPES has been to research and encourage learning areas that are creative and forward-looking. This has resulted in constant advancement in facilitating innovative and collaborative learning experiences for students through the re-alignment of the course curriculum and the exploration of virtual tools and open-source courseware. This has led to creating an environment of learning that is apprehensive and accessible to complete information.

The new curriculum framework of UPES, ABLE (Academic Blueprint for Learning Excellence), is complete in its design and structure but is still focused on the unique needs of each student to explore the world, experiment, and test. The learning is broken down into core subjects and core specialisms, minors/exploratory subject areas, life-skills, and signature subjects. The newly established School provides these three courses for life.

SFL (School for Living) is an integral part of the complete UPES student experience. It facilitates learning and learning that has an ideal blend of the needs of students and what is expected of future leaders and global citizens. Through courses designed to provide students with the ability to learn for life, an emphasis on a broad range of current issues, and an obligatory professional and social internship that is distinctive, UPES believes in igniting the most influential person in each student to improve the world.
