South Asian University made Introduction to South Asia a Compulsory Subject

South Asian University (SAU) made Introduction to South Asia a compulsory course for every student in the University. The University made it mandatory to pass this non-credit course for gaining a degree from the University. The decision came during the second meet of the University’s Academic Council in October 2012.

The taken step will help the students taking admissions in the University from different South Asian Nations to know some facts and relevant importance of the region. A PhD program will also be launched by the University in the next academic year. The University also declared that it would also institute Gold Medal by the name of the University for all the eight different Post-Graduate Programmes that it offers at present. These medals will be awarded to one student from each section at the end of the program after reviewing their academic record and achievement.
