Research
Traditionally, higher education and research have encouraged specialization in increasingly narrow fields. Although this reductionist approach has resulted in many important advances, it also has a significant downside, as it results in a “silo effect” where experts in one discipline fail to see the implications of their activities on other disciplines and on society as a whole. Since most disciplines take the environment for granted, the side effects of their activities on the environment are often ignored or detected later as “unexpected surprises.” Ecological deterioration and unsustainability of many human activities are some of the undesirable outcomes of such reductionist or single-disciplinary thinking. Therefore, addressing the challenge of achieving sustainable development that we face today requires a paradigm shift in research and education such that reductionist and single-disciplinary thinking is supplemented by multidisciplinary knowledge and holistic methods.
Placement
TERI University's multi-disciplinary programmes expose students to a wide range of theoretical and practical courses. The emphasis is on finding innovative solutions to problems which might be there today or which may come up tomorrow.
Infrastructure
A truly green campus, it puts into practice the very principles it teaches in its classrooms. An architectural delight, the campus has been planned to provide a setting that enhances learning, while simultaneously showcasing the concept of modern green buildings.
The green building has 10 classrooms, each having the capacity for 32 students, 3 lecture halls with the capacity for 60 people and an auditorium with the capacity for 80 to 100 people. The building also has 10 well-equipped laboratories to compliment cutting edge research at TERI University, along with a well stocked conference hall.
The university harnesses the best of modern technology to support the intellectual curiosity of its students and faculty. Laboratories with advanced equipment and facilities aid and stimulate research.
