Project-based learning is central to our curriculum. Students engage in mini-projects starting from the second year, building foundational skills before progressing to more complex capstone projects in their final year. Mini-projects are designed to be small-scale but impactful, allowing students to apply theoretical knowledge in practical contexts.
The final-year thesis/capstone project is a comprehensive endeavor that allows students to demonstrate mastery of their chosen area of specialization. Students select projects based on personal interest and career goals, working closely with faculty mentors from the department or partner institutions.
Faculty mentorship is integral to project selection and execution. Each student is assigned a primary mentor who provides guidance throughout the process, ensuring academic rigor and relevance to current healthcare needs.
