As a part of its innate focus on creating possibilities for students to upskill and compete not just nationally, but globally, MIT-WPU is now expanding its pedagogy with international faculty teaching 25% of the syllabus.
The faculty has been handpicked from top QS ranked universities. The students will be taught by experienced research and industry-oriented faculty from prestigious institutions. By giving students a unique perspective, the faculty can pave their paths towards international possibilities. MIT-WPU is one of the first few universities in India to have such a stellar group of global experts and international faculty onboard to impart quality education to students.
Global exposure to create global possibilities
Speaking on this path-breaking educational initiative, Dr. N.T. Rao, Vice Chancellor, MIT-World Peace University, said, “As a student-centric University, it has been our constant endeavour to pursue excellence in academics and provide our students with excellent opportunities that shape their learning outcomes through a global and holistic approach. Taking a step in that direction, we are proud to introduce our new international faculty, who will be guiding our students towards following the ethos of value-based education with a global outlook.

Preparing global citizens
The entire student community faces uncertainty about the future – seeking quality higher education opportunities and being concerned about their future job prospects – due to the ongoing pandemic that has severely impacted all sections of our society. However, under MIT-WPU’s new path-breaking initiative, students can imbibe the best of global education, where thought leaders from across the globe share varied perspectives and contribute to enriching knowledge exchange. Further, through this initiative, students get the opportunity to graduate with international exposure in the current situation that positions them to embark on global opportunities with promising career prospects.
Most importantly, no higher fees or additional costs are charged to students to avail this opportunity and the policy will be implemented across all the programs offered by the university wherein 25% syllabus of each program will be taught by a global expert or thought leader. The plan will be rolled out in phases with the expected timeline of the first session to be as early as August 9, 2021.
