SUS is the academic home for all undergraduate programmes. The seven BA Honours programmes o�er students a unique liberal arts education that acquaints them with diverse approaches to knowledge. The undergraduate programmes at AUD o�er students a wide choice of courses.

The School teaches students to think critically and creatively, to analyse and reason, to communicate e�ectively and to draw evidence-based conclusions. It aims to achieve a balance between the range and depth of the subjects studied.

The unique aspect of undergraduate programmes at AUD is that there are common modules for foundational skills comprising language, writing skills, communication skills, analytical reasoning, and a core module in social sciences. A typical BA Programme has three types of courses:

1. Foundation Courses (16 Credits)

2. Discipline-based/Interdisciplinary Elective Courses (48 to 52 credits)

3. Special Interest Courses.

BA (HONS) WITH MAJOR IN SOCIOLOGYThe Honours Programme with a Major in Sociology is designed to develop students’ critical awareness of the relationship between self and society and to question commonsense assumptions about their everyday world. The programme aims to cultivate re�exive orientation through a combination of innovative courses that are theoretical, methodological and topical.

TEACHING METHODOLOGY

ASSESSMENT AND EVALUATION

AUD follows a system of continuous assessment and evaluation to facilitate and promote learning with understanding. The continuous assessment system ensures that the work done by students during the semester will count for more than the end-semester examination. Tutorials and mentoring will be an important feature of all programmes.

Students are expected to attend classes and required learning situations (lab/tutorial sessions, �eld trips, workshops, etc.) and the orientation sessions at the beginning of each semester.

AUD follows a mandatory attendance policy. The penalties for low attendance are noti�ed from time to time and this may include mandatory ‘grade cuts’ based on a sliding scale of attendance shortfall, withholding of grade card/transcript or other action.
