Project-Based Learning Philosophy
The Law program at Agrawan Heritage University Agra emphasizes project-based learning as a cornerstone of its pedagogical approach. Projects are designed to bridge theory with practice, enabling students to apply their knowledge in real-world scenarios while developing critical thinking and research skills.
Mini Projects
Mini projects are undertaken during the second year of study. These projects allow students to explore specific areas within law through independent research or collaborative group work. Each project is guided by a faculty mentor, who provides oversight throughout the process. The final deliverables include written reports, presentations, and peer reviews.
Final-Year Thesis/Capstone Project
The capstone project in the final year involves an in-depth research paper or policy proposal on a topic of student choice, supervised by a faculty advisor. This project allows students to contribute original insights to existing legal discourse and prepares them for post-graduation pursuits in academia, practice, or public service.
Project Selection Process
Students select their projects based on personal interests and career goals. Faculty members assist in identifying suitable topics and ensuring that the scope of each project aligns with academic standards and institutional expectations. The selection process is transparent and involves faculty input to ensure quality outcomes.
