The Vice-Chancellor said, “The university has been constantly working towards excellence in traditional academic disciplines. However, during the last decade, the need of collaboration between multiple academic disciplines became evident. Interdisciplinary studies allow students and researchers to learn to forge relationships between ideas and concepts across different disciplinary boundaries. This helps them to think analytically from multiple angles while solving a problem.”
