Why AU
Faculty
With rich industry experience and academic backgrounds par excellence, the faculty at Alliance is a unique ensemble of scholars and public intellectuals from India and abroad. Through the persistent pursuit of a unity between research and teaching, the globally renowned faculty bring together the most eclectic kinds of expertise to collectively solve real world problems. Bearing the weight of their knowledge modestly, they are committed to inspiring students by making them active stakeholders in the journey of learning, research, and community engagement.
Curriculum
Alliance follows a curriculum meticulously designed to combine an emphasis on fundamentals coupled with a dynamic flexibility that responds to the state of the art of each discipline. In addition to a tangible set of transferable skills unique to every discipline, students are exposed to research as a way of thinking which gives them the intellectual courage to transcend the norms and boundaries of their chosen specializations. This kind of rigorous exposure makes them prepared for adapting to the vagaries of a highly competitive global job market.
Ecosystem
Housed in a lush green spread of land in Bangalore, Alliance provides the vibrant experience of the metropolis as well as an idyllic detachment from it. The ecosystem inside and outside the classroom is the most apt manifestation of a coupling between the natural and the artificial. Grandly designed Greek revivalist architecture melds seamlessly with the richly endowed greenery. Likewise, digital infrastructure blends perfectly with the organic intensity generated by thoughtfully designed classrooms. Given the gifts of the natural environment Alliance enjoys, it is equally committed to paying back through the pursuit of the highest sustainability standards.
Culture and Values
Academic and cultural values at Alliance are intrinsically entwined. An attitude of mutual respect and openness to diversity is encouraged at every level to foster a spirit of intellectual camaraderie and collaboration. A sense of community permeates research, learning, and administrative endeavours. Aspiring to nurture a model society, both the everyday environment and institutional practices ensure inclusivity and zero tolerance towards discrimination on any ground. Being a cosmopolitan university attracting students and faculty from all parts of the world, a strong congruence exists between these community values and the ultimate goal of nurturing creative, independent-minded individuals with a steadfast sensitivity towards the wholesome progress of society.
