Vijaybhoomi University

 OVERVIEW

Vijaybhoomi University is India’s first Lib­eral Professional University, which uses the liberal-professional framework of education to build a unique curriculum aligned to Industry 4.0. The curriculum facilitates the process of self-discovery in the initial year and thereafter choice of majors and minors to prepare oneself in high-demand careers in data science, arti­ficial intelligence, business, law, and design. The university is located inKarjat, Greater Mumbai, and nurtures holistic, socially responsible, and continuously employable professionals who can make a positive difference in the world.

LIBERAL-PROFESSIONAL CURRICULUM ARCHITECTURE

Vijaybhoomi’s curriculum and pedagogy re­volves around the process of self-discovery and is built on the foundation of liberal frame­work of education. At Vijaybhoomi, teachers think of themselves as enablers and mentors, allowing students to develop their learning pathways. The freshmen or first-year enables the discovery process by exposing the stu­dents to multiple disciplines across different bits of intelligence of the student. The sophomore and later years help the students to opt for courses to meet the requirements of a profes­sional degree that the student would like to graduate with. The Junior and Senior years enable the student to attain proficiency in the professional course of one’s choice. The freshmen and sophomore years are also designed for developing new age contempo­rary skills.

The curriculum design for imparting a broad­er understanding of theory and application of knowledge in the initial years of study coupled with the specialization in the Junior and the se­nior years is expected to groom a “T” shaped professional.

Our goal at Vijaybhoomi is to liberate stu­dents from making career choices based on peer or parental pressure. The curriculum is designed to re-ignite the joy of learning and to catalyze the process of discovery (through exposure to Multiple Intelligences) for enabling the student to choose a career that is fully aligned with their aspirations.

Students who are inducted into VU will have the option of exploring a wide range of courses and pathways. For instance, a student who has opted to study commerce can pass out with a data science major or minor by acquiring credits in the data science area. Once students have chosen the path they want to take, they can work towards the credit requirements to graduate with a degree of their choice.
