How UPES opens doors to global education
Global exposure has become an essential aspect of higher education, as the modern professional landscape increasingly demands individuals who can thrive in multicultural environments and collaborate across borders. With businesses operating on a global scale, students must be equipped with the skills and experiences needed to navigate diverse academic, cultural, and professional contexts. Addressing this need, UPES offers a structured global learning approach through international programmes, strategic partnerships, and real-world experiences—preparing students to succeed in an interconnected world. Global Pathway Programme The Global Pathway Programme (GPP) is a standout initiative that offers students the flexibility to start their academic journey at UPES and complete it at one of its prestigious international partner institutions. With options in countries like the UK, Germany, Australia, Canada, and the USA, this programme offers unmatched value and opportunity. Students have previously continued their education at esteemed institutions such as the University of Edinburgh , The University of Queensland, The University of Auckland, University of Aberdeen, The University of Essex, Nottingham Trent University, and Goldsmiths, University of London, among others. For instance, BTech students have the option to pursue their final years at The University of Queensland, which ranks in the top 50 globally (QS World University Rankings 2024), or at the University of Essex, known for its excellence in data science and analytics. UPES provides end-to-end support, from helping students shortlist universities and navigate visa processes, to offering guidance on fee structures and accommodation. One of the most impactful aspects of the program is the significant fee advantage; students can save up to 45% to 65% on total education costs, making world-class education more accessible. Additionally, students are well-prepared to face academic and cultural shifts abroad, ensuring they transition smoothly and represent UPES on the global stage. Master's progression UPES has strategically partnered with top-ranking global universities to help students prepare for and transition into a Master's degree program, prominent among them being Cranfield University, The University of Queensland, Nottingham University, Moritz College of Law (Ohio State University), University of Sussex , Maurer School of Law (Indiana University Bloomington), Higher School of Economics (HSE), and Nottingham Trent University. Research collaboration At UPES, international exposure is not confined to classrooms. From classifying bone X-ray images using convolutional neural networks (CNN) to analysing brain signals and developing smart home automation solutions, students work on cutting-edge international projects that challenge their thinking and expand their horizons. These hands-on experiences not only sharpen technical abilities but also cultivate cross-cultural sensitivity and adaptability. UPES has collaborations with institutions such as the University of Auckland, University of Glasgow, University of Adelaide, University of Nottingham, University of Bologna, University of Gothenburg, University of Sussex, Universiti Teknologi PETRONAS (UTP), and University of Windsor . For example, the School of Engineering has collaborated with Universiti Teknologi PETRONAS (UTP) on sustainable energy research and smart grid solutions, while the School of Health Sciences works closely with the University of Gothenburg on research in neurodevelopmental disorders. Global Immersion Programme The Global Immersion Programme at UPES is designed to help students develop leadership acumen, foster digital thinking, and sharpen their creative and analytical abilities. These programmes place students in the heart of global business ecosystems, helping them understand market dynamics from a broader perspective. UPES offers Summer School and Immersion programs at University of Edinburgh, King's College London, University of Gothenburg, Universiti Teknologi PETRONAS (UTP), Malaysia, Higher School of Economics (HSE), Russia, and Nottingham Trent University. Recently, MBA students from UPES participated in immersion programs across Norway, Malaysia, Scotland, and Singapore. Through these engagements, they explored international business practices, experienced different cultural mindsets, and developed critical leadership skills, equipping them to make an impact wherever they go. Semester abroad and semester exchange programmes Twice a year, UPES students and faculty participate in semester abroad and semester exchange programmes with partner universities such as UC Berkeley (Berkeley Global), University of Nottingham, University of Bologna, University of Gothenburg, University of Warsaw, Universiti Teknologi PETRONAS (UTP), Higher School of Economics (HSE), and EPITA Graduate School of Computer Science. These exchanges enable students to experience new teaching methods, interact with international peers, and gain fresh perspectives on their domains. The semester-abroad initiative offers UPES students the opportunity to study for a full semester at an international university while earning credits toward their degree. This experience allows students to immerse themselves in a new academic culture, build international networks, and explore diverse fields of study. Student voices and impact Shubhransi Kumar, a BA LL.B. (Hons.) student from the Class of 2025, who spent a semester at University of California, Berkeley, shares, 'Living and studying in a multicultural environment pushed me beyond my comfort zone, helped me grow into a more independent and self-aware individual, and gave me clarity about my future. From engaging academic discussions and courtroom visits to Coldplay concerts and cultural exchanges, every experience shaped me in ways I'll carry for life.' Reflecting on her experience at The University of Edinburgh, Ananya Pandey, a BBA Global student (2024–2027), shared, 'This was an enlightening experience that provided valuable insights into the institution's offerings and academic environment. The enthusiasm of the faculty and students was infectious, making learning truly enjoyable! The immersion program left an indelible mark on me, inspiring me to push my boundaries and explore global opportunities.' At UPES, international exposure isn't a privilege, it's a promise. A promise to shape globally competent leaders who don't just adapt to the world but lead it.

AUS Engineering College secures renewed accreditation from CAA
Role of CAA in accreditation The CAA at MOHESR is responsible for licensing higher education institutions and evaluating their academic programmes for accreditation. It works with both international and local authorities to safeguard academic standards and enhance the learning experience for students in higher education institutions. Accredited programmes The seven programmes that received renewed accreditation are the bachelor of science degrees in chemical engineering, civil engineering, computer engineering, computer science, electrical engineering, industrial engineering, and mechanical engineering. International recognition through ABET accreditation In addition to this national recognition, CEN's commitment to international quality standards is evident through renewed accreditation by the Accreditation Board for Engineering and Technology (ABET) in August 2024, covering the same seven undergraduate programmes, valid until September 30, 2030.
