School of
Liberal Arts

Where disciplines meet, ideas flourish, and minds evolve—the School of Liberal Arts at IMS Unison University inspires students to think deeply, question boldly, communicate effectively, and make a meaningful difference. Rooted in the rich traditions of the Humanities and Social Sciences and responsive to the demands of a rapidly changing world, the School provides an educational environment where knowledge, critical thinking, creativity, and human values converge and shapes thoughtful, confident, and future-ready minds.

At the School, students are encouraged to look beyond disciplinary boundaries and discover the connections that shape our world—between people and institutions, ideas and cultures, economies and societies, politics and history, language and literature, and individual minds and collective behaviour.

The School offers programmes in:

• English
• Psychology
• Economics
• History
• Political Science
• Sociology

The diversity of disciplines within the School creates an interdisciplinary learning environment in which students can encounter multiple perspectives, engage in interdisciplinary dialogue, and develop a nuanced understanding of the world around them.

Mission Statement

At the School of Liberal Arts, we take responsibility for nurturing curious, confident, and capable students. We look beyond marks and mistakes to recognise the histories, circumstances, and institutional realities that shape each learner’s journey. Our mission is to create an inclusive and empowering academic environment where every student is encouraged to discover their strengths, develop their voice, and realise their fullest potential.

As part of a research-driven university, we encourage students to move beyond the classroom and engage with the School’s vibrant culture of inquiry. Research, reflection, and curiosity are integral to their learning experience, enabling them to connect ideas, challenge assumptions, and contribute to meaningful conversations.

Our faculty bring together diverse academic expertise, interdisciplinary research training, and rich teaching experience from leading Indian and international universities. Their scholarship spans a dynamic range of fields, including:

Their current research interests are in fields like:

• English Language Teaching & Communication
• Linguistics & Speech
• Renaissance Humanism
• History & Politics
• Modernism & Literature
• Women’s Studies
• Psychology & Human Behaviour
• Travel Studies
• Creative Writing

Together, these diverse areas of expertise create an intellectually vibrant environment where disciplines intersect; ideas evolve, and students are inspired to think critically, create boldly, and engage meaningfully with the world.

Vision

The School of Liberal Arts at IMS Unison University envisions an education that is rooted in India, open to the world, and responsive to the future.

We recognise that students today navigate multiple cultural and linguistic worlds. Our programmes therefore create meaningful bridges between Indian intellectual traditions, regional languages, and global perspectives, enabling students to engage confidently with diverse ideas, cultures, and contexts.

Our curriculum brings together the regional and the international, the traditional and the contemporary, exposing students to a rich range of academic and cultural traditions across time and space. We encourage students to read widely, think deeply, question critically, and make meaningful connections across disciplines.

Students explore the dynamic relationships between language, literature, history, culture, society, and human experience, while examining both affinities and differences across cultures, geographies, and historical periods. This broad perspective cultivates intellectual curiosity, cultural awareness, and the ability to see complex issues from multiple viewpoints.

In an increasingly interconnected world, clear communication is a powerful form of knowledge and agency. Through courses in Academic Writing, Creative Writing, and Communication, students develop the confidence and competence to express ideas effectively in both written and spoken English.

Through rigorous teaching, experiential learning, research engagement, and interdisciplinary inquiry, our students develop critical thinking, analytical ability, creativity, communication skills, and intellectual independence. They graduate equipped to understand the world, question its assumptions, and contribute meaningfully to it.

Our broad-based Liberal Arts education opens pathways to diverse careers and advanced academic opportunities, preparing graduates for a rapidly evolving professional landscape.
