Academic Framework

Since its beginning, the basis of higher education in UPES has been to research and foster learning opportunities that are forward-looking and innovative. This has resulted in constant advancement in facilitating creative and collaborative learning experiences for students by reorienting the courses and exploring online 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 throughout its design. Nevertheless, it focuses on the unique needs of each student to learn, experience, explore, and challenge. Learning is divided into core subjects as well as core specialism studies minors/exploratory subject areas, and life skills and signature learning. The newly established School for Life offers the last three.

SFL (School for Living) is an integral part of the overall UPES student experience.
