Embracing the 21st Century...In an
ever-evolving era, where barriers have been uplifted, walls broken down
and frontiers surmounted, the world has become a global village. The
rise of new powers and demise of others, the unprecedented growth of
technology and communication, the emergence of new markets and
challenges have redrawn the parameters. Described as a world of
'cascading interdependence', the world today confronts us with a
kaleidoscope of 21st Century issues to be tackled in all their
dimensions through different lenses. Only then can we comprehend the
complexity of this new era called Globalization.
Traditional methods are revised and
paradigms shifted in order to meet the challenges of 21st Century global
markets. Individuals need to consider a multitude of factors before
making decisions of socioeconomic, geopolitical, technological,
ecological and cultural importance. Here a question poses itself.
Is our Higher Education System paving
the way for such an evolutionary shift?
The answer lies with us. The
University has already taken the mantle to prepare coming
generations for the new era. Its main focus is on promoting
interpersonal and intrapersonal relations, leadership and independent
maturity. A hands-on application of knowledge complements a solid
theoretical background. The eclectic nature of learning is emphasized in
the classroom, on the web, in on-the-job training as well as at the
workplace.
students will not only accumulate a wealth of information, but also
learn to screen, analyze and transform this information into valuable
knowledge.

Welcome to the 21st Century education.
