programme overview

experience multidisciplinary learning with real-world impact

Nayanta’s curriculum addresses undergraduate students' key challenges and equips them with the skills needed to thrive in a complex and interconnected world.
interdisciplinary learning experience

Education today often divides subjects into rigid silos, limiting perspectives. At Nayanta, the foundation programme integrates arts, sciences, and technology. Courses like design thinking and systems thinking teach students to tackle unstructured, real-world problems using interdisciplinary approaches.

personal growth and academic flexibility

Our curriculum fosters self-awareness and exploration through a personalised development approach and faculty-student engagement. Thought-provoking learning pathways with real-world analysis bridge students' academic theory to practice. Flexible major-minor combinations allow students to tailor their education journey to their interests and career aspirations.

collaboration and personal agency

Collaboration and self-directed learning are central to the Nayanta experience. Project-based work and peer-to-peer teaching opportunities help students deepen their understanding while building confidence. The Nayanta Curriculum creates personalised learning journeys that inspire curiosity, foster care, and build the confidence needed for meaningful careers.
