Greetings,
Welcome to a new chapter in Indian education, ATLAS SkillTech University.
As India continues to be one of the fastest growing economies in the world, there is a pressing need for more opportunities in higher education and upskilling for the new generation to put India on the global map.
At ATLAS SkillTech University, we are trying to redefine the traditional mould of education in India. Today’s youth need to acquire skills that will help them in a volatile, technology-driven world of the future. An ATLAS education ensures that our students get access to world-class educators and industry experts, exposure to international culture and benchmarks, and technology-enabled learning that stretches beyond the traditional classroom.
Our multidisciplinary, futuristic, and student-focused approach allows every student to acquire the acumen to not only identify and bring the pressing issues to the forefront but also solve them with a disruptive and strategic approach.
All of this requires infrastructure that encourages innovation and discovery which is at the heart of ATLAS SkillTech University. Our thoughtfully curated workspaces and state-of-the-art technology labs cater to every learning need of an ATLAS student and stimulate intellectual exploration. Our curriculum has been vetted by and co-created with some of the most prestigious institutions known for their role in shaping design, management, film, and art as we know it today. And with a faculty body that is well-known for its contribution and exceptional commitment to their own fields and welfare of the students, ATLAS provides a perfect trifecta to give our students an edge above the rest.
Our students come from varied economic, social, cultural, and geographical backgrounds. We encourage them to give back to the society through their program, projects, workshops, internships, and placements.
With roots in the industrious Mumbai and close proximity to 500+ leading companies, we take every opportunity to bring that vibrant, enterprising energy into our campus and classrooms. We partner with International Banks, Financial Institutions, Fashion Houses, Media and IT companies, in the quest to take learning into the real world.
With the new industrial revolution and the innovation ecosystem booming, what India needs is a powerful, talented force that can take charge, create new jobs, and drive the country’s economic growth further. ATLAS SkillTech University aims to equip these future leaders with every tool they will need for this cause.
