Global education at local cost, context and ethos

AU has taken up the challenge of raising the standard of higher education in various fields like Management, Engineering, Life Sciences, Information Technology, Innovation etc. to global benchmarks. AU’s objective is to create institutions imparting high quality education in Ahmedabad so that larger number of students can take advantage of this education at a fraction of cost as compared to pursuing education in foreign universities. Additionally, AU has pursued network relationship with cadre national institutions like IIMA and IITG. It has also been engaged in tie-ups with some of the Schools/Centres which are part of leading universities such as Cambridge, Stanford, Penn State etc.

Balance of technical and social skills

AU promotes the balance of technical and social skills required to develop a well rounded professional to meet the global industrial standards and become responsible citizens. On one hand, at AU students will be encouraged to conduct high quality scientific research and, on the other hand AU students will be required to take courses in humanities, arts and social sciences, providing students with solid foundation in creative thinking and communication skills.

Emphasis on multidisciplinary education

Education at AU will be a four way interactive process between the students, industry, society and faculty. AU offers multidisciplinary collaborative teaching and learning environment with consistent pedagogic exchange within AU’s facilities, within the Ahmedabad education cluster and also in tie up with foreign universities.
