HOLISTIC DEVELOPMENT
What is the purpose of education? Is it merely to make students employable, remove ignorance and impart
knowledge? Or is it to create a better world? The seismic shifts taking place globally necessitate action to
ensure a secure and equitable future for all. Learners today are, therefore, required to be creative, collaborative
and communicative. They must develop skills to solve complex problems that plague humanity, work towards
equity, uplift the underserved, live healthy, happy, and productive lives. UPES School for Life (SFL) was
established with the intention to create true changemakers. Students learn to apply an
in-depth understanding of attained life skills and broad-based subject competencies along with core subject
qualifications, to take advantage of educational and employment opportunities. This broad-based learning
experience helps them evolve throughout their professional and personal lives.

The undergraduate program at UPES offers four clearly demarcated, yet academically integrated areas,
covering Core Specialisation courses, Exploratory (Interdisciplinary Electives), Signature and Life Skill courses,
all of which are credited and form the basis of the degree awarded. School for Life offers the latter three
selections of courses, which are structured to be read alongside the students’ core academic curriculum.
