Experiential
Learning
Learn by
Doing, Lead by
Example.
All the courses across the schools at BMU have experiential learning components varying from 10% to 60%. This includes learning through case studies, simulations, gaming, practical exercises, site visits, group discussions, technical writings, and seminars. The University has a unique internship programme, Practice School, which allows students to experience corporate roles and responsibilities through on-the-job training.
Solving problems is at the heart of all course delivery at our university. Therefore, many courses follow a case-based pedagogical approach. We have a licensing agreement with Harvard Business Publishing to utilise their cases in our classrooms. Most of our courses have project-based evaluation components, wherein students in groups solve interdisciplinary problems related to business, technology, and society.
This is how it’s done across schools
School of
Management
At the School of Management, students undergo multiple online simulations as a part of their coursework to experience the intensity of management decision-making.
School of
Law
Our School of Law organises moot courts and Practice School Terms to train students on the complexities of the legal system and making informed decisions.
School of
Technology
Joy of Engineering integrates hands-on activities into the course delivery and Workshop of the Future helps students bridge the gap between theory and practice and participate in activities like the conception of product design, testing, etc., through advanced software and machinery.
School of
Liberal Studies
The School of Liberal Studies offers its students a new experience—hitherto not offered to University undergraduate students in India. The experience is titled Immersion and is distinguished from two of its close relatives: internship and fieldwork.
The power of practice
At BMU, we believe in preparing students for the real world by engaging them in various activities so they are always ready for what’s next!
The Practice School
It allows students to experience corporate roles and responsibilities through on-the-job training. At the School of Management, students undergo multiple online simulations as a part of their coursework to experience the intensity of management decision-making.
Moot Court
The School of Law at BMU organises moot courts to train students on the complexities of the legal system and make informed decisions.
Start-up Ecosystem
The Institute of Innovation and Entrepreneurship brings the experience of industry stalwarts to our classrooms and the practical experience of our students in the start-ups currently being incubated on campus.
Gamification
At BMU, gamified environments are designed to ensure student engagement and participation. This includes but is not limited to incorporating board game simulations, group assignments, outbound learning initiatives like river rafting, etc.
Workshop of the Future
Additional initiatives within the curriculum, like ‘Workshop of the Future’, a virtual-cum-physical lab, help students bridge the gap between theory and practice and participate in activities like product design, testing, etc., through advanced software and machinery.
Language Labs
The involvement of our Language Labs ensures every student participates in developing their communication skills.
Global Immersion Programmes
The Global or International Immersion Programs at the School of Management and various international training programs keep students’ engagement with the coursework and the university high.
Social Immersive Projects
Our Sankalp initiative at the School of Management enables students to go beyond classrooms and solve real-life societal and economic problems in the villages around the University, needless to mention the efforts made by our NSS wing.
Prototyping
In courses like Integrated Decision-Making, students create prototypes of products and try to test the same in real-life contexts. Many such projects and ideas are presented at our flagship pitch fest, organised by the University Start Incubation Propel and Hult Prize competitions.
Infrastructure that brings experiential learning to life
These facilities are provided by the requirements of respective regulatory bodies applicable to various programs offered by the University. Several laboratories are housed on campus to provide hands-on experiential learning to our students.
Basic Science Labs (Physics, Chemistry) | Robotics | Civil Engineering labs | Hydraulics and Fluid Mechanics Lab | Material Testing Lab | Thermodynamics and IC Engine Lab | Shell Learning Center | Pneumatic and Hydraulics Lab | CNC Controller Lab | Mechatronics Lab | Automation Lab | Tinkering Lab | KOM-DOM Lab | Hero Trailing Lab | Electrical lab | 3D Lab
