PRESIDENT
The value of knowledge is shifting from the language of mathematics applied to empirical data
to language of sensitivities applied to experiences. Organisations focusing on user experience
and user sensitivities are delivering higher multiples for wealth creation. Apple, Google, Tesla,
Amazon and host of other such organisations have testified this hypothesis and have
successfully demonstrated their ability to maintain sustained growth in this volatile, uncertain,
complex and ambiguous world. These new age organisations are evolving new roles to drive
their mission. Such roles require professionals to be skilled in multiple disciplines such as
design, engineering, management, law etc. The era of the specialist seems to be coming to an
end. Technologies such as AI, ML, Robotics are capable of replacing the value offered by the
specialist. However imagination, creativity, empathy and innovation continue to be in the
domain of human beings.
Education needs to evolve quickly to enable future professionals to leverage their inherent
human abilities of imagination, creativity and problem solving. To achieve this objective,
University curriculums need to be more learner centric. The learning framework has to be
flexible and must grant the learner with the choice of programs/ courses, create the space to
learn by doing and provide an opportunity to discover oneself through immersions and
experiential learning.
Vijaybhoomi University has blended the best practices of liberal arts education with
professional education to create a liberal professional curriculum anchored on self discovery,
holistic development, social responsibility and professionalism.
The development of new-age professionals for new-age roles in new-age organizations is the
raison d'être for the genesis of Vijaybhoomi University.
At VU, students are empowered to curate their own learning pathway, experiment with design
and innovation and sensitise themselves through immersions in real life situations.
02
Curating unique learning pathways
through multiple intelligence framework
Vijaybhoomi University's approach to competency building is embedded in the Multiple
Intelligence Theory of Prof. Howard Gardner.
For all students, the Multiple Intelligence Test (MIT, available on Vijaybhoomi website)
serves as the first step to self-discovery. This test has been designed for students studying
in grades XI and XII. The results of this test help students understand their strengths across
eight categories of intelligence which provides a strong indication towards their inherent
learning, behavioural, work styles and natural potencies.
LEVEL 1 COURSES
The level 1 courses facilitate introductory studies in each field of the student's choice to
familiarise them with the nature and scope of each area.
03
PRACTICE COURSES
In addition, there are Practice Courses which are mandatory across all programmes. These
are award-winning Practice Courses that have been designed to help students become
future-ready in their chosen careers or professions.
04
VU's campus reflects our learning philosophy, and is specially designed to foster an
environment of sustainable learning with fully-equipped world-class facilities, and yet
surrounded by the wonders of nature!

FOOD AND ACCOMODATION
MOTHERS WOULD APPROVE
VU programmes are residential programmes. Each student will be housed in a uniquely-
designed, self-contained living space, consisting of a comfortable bed, storage space, and a
tucked-in study space.
VU takes pride in hosting healthy, cross-cultural cuisines. After consultation with experts in
nutrition and wellness, we provide balanced nutrition and a varied diet from palates across
the world.
“ One of the best things about the hostel is the bunker bed and table
setup, which is so compact yet has so much storage space. Through
the tight-knit environment of the hostel with like minded musicians,
“
I have made great friends. I was indeed surprised by the variety of
cuisine provided to us at the mess too. I feel lucky to be in such a
beautiful place with all the necessary amenities and more.
