SCHOOL OF UNDERGRADUATE STUDIES
(SUS)
The School of Undergraduate Studies
is the academic home for all
undergraduate
programmes. The
seven BA Honours programmes offer
students a unique liberal arts
education that acquaints them with
diverse approaches to knowledge. The
undergraduate programmes at AUD
offer students a wide choice of courses.
The School teaches students to think critically and
creatively, to analyse and reason, to communicate
effectively and to draw evidence-based conclusions. It aims
to achieve a balance between the range and depth of the
subjects studied.
The unique aspect of undergraduate programmes at AUD is
that there are common modules for foundational skills
comprising language, writing skills, communication skills,
analytical reasoning, and a core module in social sciences. A
typical BA Programme has three types of courses.
1. Foundation Courses (24 Credits)
2. Discipline-based/Interdisciplinary Elective
Courses (56 to 64 credits)
3. Special Interest Courses.
areas of counselling, organisational behaviour, education,
sexuality, and story-telling traditions.
A dissertation in the final semester is aimed at providing
students with a rare opportunity to research an area of
their interest.
Graduates with a major in Psychology from AUD who wish
to study further would have the necessary conceptual
orientation to do so. In addition, various approaches and
skills taught here would enable them to reconsider stereotypical modes of thinking and create an openness to experience.
AUD follows a system of continuous assessment and
evaluation to facilitate and promote learning with
understanding. The continuous assessment system ensures
that the work done by students during the semester will
count for more than the end-semester examination.
Tutorials and mentoring will be important features of all
programmes. Students are expected to attend classes and
required learning situations (lab/tutorial sessions, field
trips, workshops, etc.) and the orientation sessions at the
beginning of each semester.
The Programme would be vaulable to students interested
in mass media, advertising, education, child development,
counselling, and organisational psychology. It would
enable students to work in varied fields where they are
required to engage with human beings in different
contexts.
AUD follows a mandatory attendance policy. The penalties
for low attendance are notified from time to time and may
include mandatory ‘grade cuts’ based on a sliding scale of
attendance shortfall, withholding of grade card/transcript
or other actions.
STRUCTURE
Core courses
The programme is delivered through a total number of 96
credits over six semesters. The Programme consists of two
types of courses: Compulsory and Elective. Students are
encouraged to participate in field trips and excursions.
They explore cinema and visual culture and undertake
projects that enhance critical thinking and develop analytical skills. The elective courses pertain to more specialised
areas of application. The course comprises tutorial and lab
sessions, field trips, workshops and seminars etc.
BA (HONS) WITH MAJOR IN PSYCHOLOGY
PROJECT
The Core Courses familiarise students with the history and
methods of Psychology. They learn about cognition,
childhood, neuropsychology, social and abnormal
psychology. A course that makes Psychology relevant to
Indian context is also taught.
A strong project component will seek to augment understanding of the discipline and its many applications.
The Elective Courses are more interdisciplinary and show
the applicability of psychological understanding in the
