Educational Philosophy

The educational philosophy behind the Azim Premji University is based on three key principles.Firstly, the University nurtures and encourages exemplary standards of teaching, learning and research. The learning programmes of the University therefore focus on building depth of understanding, capacity for inter disciplinary learning and research, analytical skills, critical thinking and communication in an atmosphere of academic freedom and integrity.Secondly, the Universitys agenda continues to be guided by its larger purpose of social change. Hence the University strives to develop a deep understanding of the social impact of education and its role in creating awareness of the wider political and ethical issues in debates on development and policy.
