Undergraduate Programmes
 
“My work revolves around consumer marketing and brand management...” One of the aspects that attracted me to the STS department was the breadth and scope of this programme. I was able to take up courses from both the business and science faculties which I found appealing. The curriculum enabled me to hone my analytical skills and apply it to problems with a multi faceted view. As a result, my thoughts and thinking process received the best of ‘science logic’ plus ‘business acumen’ training one can get in a university”

"Being a S&T student in this department has broadened my horizon and brought my sense of understanding on what S&T really is in the human life. The subjects offered are diverse yet made suitable with the demand of technology in this modern life. The combination of philosophy and modern science, blended with religion gives it a holistic approach to handling the problems we are facing. In a nutshell, S&T has changed me mentally and spiritually."
