Academic Framework

Since its beginning, the primary goal of higher education within UPES has been to investigate and foster learning opportunities that are innovative and forward-looking. This has resulted in constant advancement in the facilitation of collaboration and creative learning activities for students through the re-alignment of course curriculum and the exploration of virtual tools and open-source courseware, resulting in the possibility of unlimited learning and access to unlimited information.

The new curriculum framework of UPES, ABLE (Academic Blueprint for Learning Excellence), is comprehensive in its overall design and yet is focused on the specific needs of each student to learn experiences, discover, investigate and test. Learning is separated into core subject areas and core specialisms, minors/exploratory subject areas, life skills, and signature subjects. The recently established School provides these three courses for life.

SFL (School for the Future) is an integral component of the complete UPES student experience. It aids in learning and education, balancing what students desire and what they need from the future global leaders and citizens of tomorrow, with programs designed to provide students with the ability to learn for life and concentrate on various contemporary issues.
