given rise to value-based care and innovative healthcare models
using advanced digital technologies to prepare for uncertainties
and build a smart health ecosystem.
All these changes open doors to several opportunities for the
sector, with an overall increase in healthcare demand and,
consequently, healthcare professionals.

UPES School of Health Sciences and Technology (SoHST) equips


students with industry-relevant knowledge while keeping up
with the rapid evolution of technology in the health and well-
being industry and changing lifestyle patterns of the old and

faculty mentors. Industry experts interact with students and share
their knowledge, ideas, and professional journeys. This leads to a
holistic education that is research- and technology-driven.

HOLISTIC DEVELOPMENT
What is the purpose of education? Is it merely to make students employable, remove ignorance and impart
knowledge? Or is it to create a better world? The seismic shifts taking place globally necessitate action to ensure
a secure and equitable future for all. Learners today are, therefore, required to be creative, collaborative and
communicative. They must develop skills to solve complex problems that plague humanity, work towards equity,
uplift the underserved, live healthy, happy, and productive lives. UPES School for Life (SFL) was established with
the intention to create true changemakers. Students learn to apply an in-depth understanding of attained life skills
and broad-based subject competencies along with core subject qualifications, to take advantage of educational
and employment opportunities. This broad-based learning experience helps them evolve throughout their
professional and personal lives.

The undergraduate program at UPES offers four clearly demarcated, yet academically integrated areas, covering
Core Specialisation courses, Exploratory (Interdisciplinary Electives), Signature and Life Skill courses, all of which
are credited and form the basis of the degree awarded. School for Life offers the latter three selections of courses,
which are structured to be read alongside the students’ core academic curriculum.
