Ahmedabad University (established in 2009) is a private, non-profit, research university offering students a liberal education with a focus on research and interdisciplinary, project-based learning. The University is established by India’s most well-known educational foundation, The Ahmedabad Education Society that was founded in 1935.

Ahmedabad University offers programmes leading to degrees from bachelors to doctoral at its Schools of Arts and Sciences, Engineering, and Management. The University is already attracting ambitious scholars from around the world and is developing links with some of the finest academic institutions and organisations. It is an opportunity to re-imagine a university in the global academy and within subcontinental traditions of knowledge, and to act as a bridge between the arts, the sciences and the professions.

Ahmedabad University is setting up a School of Performing and Visual Arts.



The school will offer a Five-Year dual degree programme in Integrated Arts for students seeking rigorous and holistic education in the fields of Performing and Visual Arts. The Integrated Arts Programme is a unique, multidisciplinary, practice-driven programme, dedicated to educating a new generation of original art practitioners, art curators, managers, and academics. Its core is defined at the intersection of aesthetics with formal and technological innovation. Such an intersection brings together a broad spectrum of knowledge, problem-solving techniques, research skills, and creative imagination. We believe the programme will provide the intellectual preparation of the artist within the traditions of liberal arts while providing an chance to build original creative capabilities within a chosen art form. It will also allow for an understanding of how arts engage with and provide solutions to grand challenges facing the society (e.g., climate change, health, social inequality etc.)
