Academic Framework

Since its inception, UPES has sought to promote innovative learning and future-focused learning as the foundation of higher education. This has resulted in constant improvement in facilitating creative and collaborative learning experiences for students through realignment and exploration of virtual tools and open-source courseware. It creates borderless learning opportunities and unlimited access to endless information.

The new curriculum framework at UPES is ABLE (Academic Blueprint for Learning Excellence). It is holistic yet focuses on each student's individual needs to explore, discover, challenge, and experience. Learning is divided into core subjects, core specialisms, minors/exploratory, signature, and life skills. These three courses are available at the School for Life.

SFL (School for Life), an integral part of the UPES student experience, facilitates learning and education balanced between students' needs and those of future leaders and global citizens. UPES is committed to inspiring the best in people to make the world a better place. It offers courses that equip students with lifelong learning skills and a focus on various current issues.
