TEACHING EXCELLENCE OUR PROFESSORS

OUR TEACHING PROCESSES ARE IMBUED WITH EXPERIENTIAL LEARNING A KEY FOCUS OF ALL OUR FACULTY A rich pedagogy, driven by a balanced mix of faculty comprising of academicians, researchers and professionals drawn from business and industry creates the right meeting point for the best minds in the country.

16

The pedagogy offers a mixed bag of learning styles. It predominantly involves case discussions to leverage the research conducted by the students on the market and the industry, by encouraging active dialogue and debate. In areas where advanced management thought is to be imparted to students, classroom techniques are aided by simulation techniques and real life scenarios. Out of class interaction among the participants during case preparation, assignments and project presentations enable participants to learn to work in effective teams. This learning will enable them to assimilate with ease in the corporate teams, when they begin their professional career. It not only helps them to learn about group dynamics, but also leads to building life long relationships with fellow students.

The assignments which our students will undertake with SMEs, who are members of UBS Entrepreneurs Club, will bring them face to face with real time challenges faced by these organisations. With their Mentor Professors support and guidance, they will research the variables involved in the business problem being tackled. In a few weeks after the student / faculty team have submitted their recommendations to the SME concerned, they will have an opportunity to go back to the SME firm and see, how the real life situation had played out. This will enable the students to get a first hand experience of tackling challenges, faced in business and industry.

SUPPORTING YOU MENTORING OPPORTUNITIES:

We sincerely believe that mentoring sessions with our faculty, will help our students in taking responsible decisions, in respect of many facets of their life including the successful completion of their management education and enabling them to make informed career choices.

26

We have incorporated the words Transforming Lives in our Logo. It was with a serious intent, that we have included these words. Our Faculty will range in age from 25 to 55 years. They will serve as role models for our students. All Faculty members will take-on the responsibility to mentor eight students each, during every trimester. Students will have the choice to retain or change their Mentor Professor, after the first and the second trimester. We believe the proposed fortnightly Mentoring Sessions, will enable students to better understand lifes challenges and responsibilities. These Sessions can be a life changing experience, for many students, besides forging better and ever lasting relationships, between the students and the faculty.

Learning Beyond the Classroom: Realising Personal Achievement Potential

There is much more to becoming a Manager, besides developing the functional competencies, critical to job performance. Management education at UBS is designed to develop Leaders at different levels, in organisations.
To become a leader, one has to have self awareness, be a thinker and a role model to ones associates. In other words become a complete professional. This involves managing oneself, managing ones work and the managing of ones team. For this an individual needs 360 degrees development. At UBS we organise many activities to enhance the social awareness, values and general development of our students. Cultural awareness will be inculcated by assigning different student groups to organise events relating to our history and culture. Similarly, many events are organised towards enhancing awareness of global history, literature and cultures. Through these processes we seek to develop responsible citizens of the world, who are then able to fulfill their personal achievement potential, as managers in global organisations. We will establish at UBS, the Indian Institute for Leadership Development.
27

CAREERS AND EMPLOYBILITY OF OUR STUDENTS

The UBS Senate Universal Business SchoolTM has a strong interface with Industry, we have established the UBS Senate with a membership of fifty CEOs, Directors, VPs and Functional Heads from leading Indian Companies.
The Senate will meet three times a year, to review our courses, our academic processes and teaching pedagogy, before the commencement of each Trimester. The objective is to ensure that the competencies being imparted to our students, match with the requirements of business and industry. UBS also undertakes Consulting and Training assignments with many of these organisations. Our students will get opportunities for supporting several of these Consulting Assignments. This will give our students several opportunities to learn about different facets of corporate operations. They will also glean important learnings about the challenges that are faced in different industry segments.
28

The UBS Entrepreneurs Club

Our students will get opportunities to conduct Field Studies for these organisations, under the stewardship of one of their Professors. This will give them hands-on experience about real life challenges faced by entrepreneurial organisations. These opportunities will serve as an extremely useful learning experience.
Universal Business School has set-up an Entrepreneurs Club, with a membership of forty rapidly growing
TM

entrepreneurial organisations. These interactions will also provide opportunities for our students to showcase their talents, to these entrepreneurs, who could later offer placement opportunities to them. The Senate and the UBS Entrepreneurs Club will provide our Faculty and Students with ample opportunities to showcase the quality of academic rigor, practiced at our Business School.

INTERNATIONAL EXPOSURE
We live in a globalised world. Organisations seek out global markets, source people, skills and technologies from across the globe and the entire supply chain management involves global interfaces.
Students seeking global careers can study Managing International Business as an elective in the third Trimester. This will also involve an Industrial Visit and Networking trip to three European counteries, for ten days. Students electing to take-up Managing International Business will be required to pay an additional Course Fee of Rs. 1,00,000 (Rupees One Lac or US $2,300), to cover the cost of international travel. This fee will be payable, only by students who take up this elective, before the commencement of the third Trimester.

International Faculty and Students:

Our Business Management Institute is titled as Universal Business School ,

TM

since it is our avowed policy to bring together both Faculty and Students from across the globe.
We believe these endeavours on our part will improve the quality of learning to be imparted at our Business School. Our students will better understand the nuances of business as they vary across different continents of our globalised world. These interactions will prepare our students better for international assignments, during their future career with corporates. Further, having these international citizens on our Campus, will also assist in developing better understanding and relationships, between people of different races, religions and nationalities. We believe this will progressively contribute, in some small measure, towards supporting peace and amity between all peoples, across all continents. The Tuition and other Fees applicable to both Indian and International students will be the same. Our domestic and international students will pay the same Fees and will be treated uniformly and with equity, in all respects.

Studies in Indian Cultural Heritage: Meditation, Yoga and Pranic Healing

We have provided for an elective titled Management Learnings from Indian Spiritual Heritage. This subject in our view would be of interest to international students. We believe that with India poised to become the fourth biggest economy in GDP terms, in the next few years, learning about the Indian ethos, would be of considerable interest to international students. Of course, Indian students are also welcome to take up this elective. During this course we shall also expose students to the practice of Meditation, Yoga and Pranic Healing.

Research, Consulting and Corporate Training

These endeavors will help in the further development of our faculty members. The quality of these relationships with our Client groups will grow stronger, as our Faculty continues to build greater credibility with these firms. Progressively, we will get opportunities to conduct Business Research, on behalf of these client organisations. We are also in dialogue with Business Schools in Europe / USA for participating in joint Research Projects, in collaboration with them. Our students will participate in these Consulting and Research Projects and this will certainly deepen their knowledge and expertise, in respect of challenges faced by business and industrial organisations. This will in turn enhance the employability of our students. We will establish Universal Research Institute to focus on creating Indian and global case studies.

We certainly believe in practicing first and then educating others towards adopting the tenets of Corporate Governance and CSR, as a way of life. At UBS we have established a Welfare Centre within our Campus. We propose to help the people of villages close to our Institute, in several ways.
Here we provide to the people of Kushivali and Vadap villages, Primary Health facilities and also classes for pre-primary children, so that they are motivated to join primary schools. The Welfare Centre will also have a place for conducting Ganesh Pujas and celebrating other festivals, with our neighboring communities. Our students will participate in the management of the Welfare Centre, so that they see the value in pursuing noble causes, even when they start their own careers, with the corporate world. Our students will also be encouraged to play field games with youth teams from Kushivali and Vadap villages. This will enable our students and faculty, to better understand the challenges of rural India and bring us closer to our immediate community, living in the close proximity of our Campus.
