MESSAGE FROM
VICE CHANCELLOR
Ambedkar University Delhi (AUD) is a decade old. The direction
of the University was set ten years ago, and we wish to establish
AUD as one of the premier institutions of knowledge creation
and dissemination in the areas of liberal arts, humanities and
social sciences. All the programmes that we have envisaged
here have direct social relevance. Our students go to tribal areas
for fieldwork to get a better understanding of the problems
being faced in rural India. They are sensitive to socio-economic and political realities, and are being
trained to not only be job seekers but job creators for emerging future.
AUD is one among a few universities in India to cater exclusively to research and higher learning in
Humanities and Social Sciences. In today's polarized world, the study of these streams, we strongly
believe, will not only play a pivotal role in improving understanding amongst cultures but also
transform human experiences into lessons for the future. In the few years since the University's
inception, AUD has carved out a niche for itself by reinventing the perception of social science
education, particularly by focusing on application based content and transformative potential of
integrative learning. This is reflected both in its design of new programmes as well as their
interdisciplinary engagement with other fields yielding exciting possibilities.
The University aspires to transform its students into informed and competent professionals as well
as sensitive and compassionate citizens with social responsibilities to respond to the needs of the
marginalized sections of our society. Our graduates have distinguished themselves to be
independent thinking adults with an interdisciplinary perspective and critical mindset empathetic
to social complexities around us. Through AUD, exchange tie-ups with many internationally reputed
academic institutions and universities enable our students to get the right exposure to work in a
global environment with a strong emphasis on cross cultural learning, team work, self study, value
based practices and ethical conduct.
The School of Business, Public Policy and Social Entrepreneurship (SBPPSE) was launched in 2011 to
impart education and promote research in the field of Business Administration, Business
Management, Public Policy and Social Entrepreneurship. The School has long offered a degree
programme in Masters of Business Administration (MBA). The two-year MBA programme, while
imparting the essential concepts and principles of modern management, also exposes the student
to issues of Public policy and Social Entrepreneurship, within the inherent orientation and
interdisciplinary focus of the university. The sixth batch of the MBA Programme graduated in 2019. I
invite you to engage with SBPPSE to build a meaningful a relationship between the real-world and
the University. I am sure that your association will add a symbiotic purpose to our School and its
graduates a distinct asset to your organization.
Our pedagogy uses a blended approach to learning which is based on methods such as case
study, business simulation, role plays, class room lectures and experiential learning. Field-
based learning and experience sharing by practitioners on a regular basis are integral parts
of our programme. Our faculty is drawn from academicians, practitioners, policy makers,
visionaries, administrators, domain experts and management leaders, both from within the
university and the outside world, and is continuously engaged in teaching, training and
mentoring our students with a strong focus on interdisciplinary learning. This is the key
differentiator that enables a management graduate passing out from SBPPSE to draw the big
picture on real life canvas while being able to comprehend the complex integration of
business and society.
At the university, exchange tie-ups with many internationally reputed academic institutions
and universities enable our students to get the right exposure to work in a global
environment with a strong emphasis on cross cultural learning, team work, value based
practices and ethical conduct. The programme lays special emphasis on developing
interpersonal and leadership skills in our students. The school seeks to offer executive
education and is committed to bridge the gap between industry and academia. I take this
opportunity to invite you and your organization to our campus to build a mutually beneficial
and long term relationship.
With a focus on skill development through innovative The Centres at AUD are distinct locations for project
practices, interdisciplinary engagement, and learning based research, policy advocacy, capacity building
