School of Informatics

The School of Informatics is a frontier less intellectual space that radiates computing across applied science and social science disciplines. We perceive informatics as the binder that can transform and levitate applied domains, which are increasingly relied upon to address emerging challenges.

The academic programs of the school of informatics are interdisciplinary and of high quality. We ensure our students develop the ability to comprehend issues holistically, think objectively, and imbibe skills that would help them either find gainful employment or advance to a research career. A couple of years that one invests at the school of Informatics will return dividends in the future
