At BMU, the academic structure, curriculum and pedagogy have been designed to break boundaries between different disciplines, bridge the gap between theory and practice, integrate learning and living and synchronize the classroom with the workplace.
Most significantly, the education system has been crafted to promote the spirit of discovery, creativity, problem solving and innovation among students; and make learning an engaging and enjoyable experience. The overarching objective is to develop knowledgeable, skilled, ethical and well-rounded individuals, who are job ready from day one of passing out from the university, and have the potential to lead their organizations to success in the future.
BMU wants its students to imbibe three key values: the intellectual curiosity to INQUIRE, the personal capability to INSPIRE, and show the commitment to deliver positive social IMPACT.
These values have been integrated into the curricula by working with leading “thinkers” and “practitioners” in India and around the world. These values have been made practical by involving industry in curriculum design, internships, projects and placements, and by engaging student minds with social purpose through research and hands-on projects.
The structure of each programme encompasses a rich mix of foundation courses, core courses, elective courses, perspective courses, and skill courses.
The idea is to expose students to a broad-based and integrated education, and help them acquire a multitude of skills necessary to be successful in their careers and lives.
Students at BMU are encouraged to register for additional cross-disciplinary courses during a semester, subject to their academic performance. Students can also join additional courses during the summer term, helping them focus on their core subjects during the semester. Our cross-disciplinary approach allows students to choose from various electives across subject categories to complement their core subjects.
Students who wish to strengthen their understanding of a core subject or extend their learning horizons to a different subject can choose from a wide range of ‘electives’. For example, a computer science & engineering student could choose artificial intelligence; a BBA student, capital markets; an MBA student, merger & acquisitions; and a B.Com. (Hons) student, e-commerce.
A dual degree widens students’ horizons by allowing them to specialize in two related yet different domains. Spending an additional year at the university allows B.Tech. students to opt for a dual degree in engineering, further strengthening the cross-disciplinary approach followed by BMU. For example, a mechanical engineering student could spend an additional year to gain a dual degree in computer science.
