The School of Liberal Arts and Sciences (SoLAS)
offers dynamic programmes for students to gain
comprehensive knowledge base in a subject discipline
of their choice and develop necessary skills to become
future leaders, creators and influencers. We encourage
students to embark on an academic pathway based on
their interests by integrating subjects and courses from
Natural and Social Sciences, Arts and Humanities. The
modern curriculum of Liberal Arts courses is designed
for young learners to develop a research-based,
multidisciplinary thinking ability that would help
contribute to the development of society as a whole.
Of all tested and available higher education templates
prevalent in India today, the Liberal Arts and Sciences
study model comes closest to achieving the above goals.
It aligns with the plural, all-encompassing spirit of the
Indian civilisation, with cherished European renaissance
worldviews of ‘humanism, individualism, secularism,
scepticism, classicism and well-roundedness’ towards
the nurturing of free-thinking, responsible global
citizens in a fast-changing world with increasing
connectivity, dependence and influence.
