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.
Subject to sound academic performance, a student could register for more courses than the prescribed number during a semester. They could also take courses during the summer term. Students will also have the choice to select from a range of electives in different subject categories to complement their core subjects.
Since students may wish to strengthen their understanding of a core subject or extend their learning horizons to a different subject, they can choose from a wide range of ‘electives’ the curriculum offers. For example, a computer science & engineering student could take artificial intelligence; a BBA student, capital markets; an MBA student, merger & acquisitions; and a B.Com. (Hons) student, e-commerce as an elective course.
B.Tech students can opt for a dual-degree in the engineering domain by spending one extra year at the university. For example, they could pursue mechanical engineering (4 years) plus, say, computer science (1 year).
