DEGREE PROGRAMME
Curated in collaboration with industry experts and academia, degree programmes for working professionals ensure that concepts and applications are stitched in an industry context. Immersions and masterclasses by practitioners supplement the courseware with real-world challenges. Difficult questions are brought into the classroom as content where the pedagogy is about discovering answers together. Course specialisation is based on real demand and market needs to create value and competence.
OPEN PROGRAMMES
Open Programmes bring a group of diverse learners from various organisations and walks of life, creating a space for peer learning and observation-based understanding for participants. The participants range from business partners to competitors and customers in the real world. Protecting intellectual property during discussions while sharing experiences and identifying real challenges forms the programme's crux. The programme inspires participants to compete with their capabilities and learn from competitors in a competition-driven market, making the learning curve more real. The effort is to curate such open programmes that raise thinking abilities and provide a safe space to practice and learn from attempts and exploration.
CUSTOMISED PROGRAMMES
Customised learning programmes are based on stated real challenges. A discovery-led approach is followed to design the courseware, choose the proper pedagogy, and invite the most relevant experts to deliver the same. The executive education team works closely with the sponsors and participants at every stage, from discovery to design, to map requirements to outcomes. Every tailored programme is unique to that organisation's culture, implying engagement with the leadership through the entire lifecycle.

CUSTOMISED PROGRAMMES
Curated Programmes
Ahmedabad University’s Continuing and Executive Education team curates programmes for organisations with distinct challenges and specific target audiences to meet their explicit requirements. These tailored programmes retain the client's unique needs at the centre of the design process, leveraging their deep understanding of the problem.

Discovery Led Programmes
Often, customers cannot clearly detect the problem or state their needs and resort to describing symptoms. This calls for a discovery-led approach that helps document the explicit and implicit learning requirements. This phase is followed by customisation, leading to a perfectly tailored programme.

Immersive Learning from ‘Biz & Society’
Visiting an automated factory, a self-sustainable village, an entrepreneur’s garage, or a massive refinery leaves a lasting impression. Immersion is a curated tour of industries, businesses, and societies that captures the essence that learners look for.
