Following that vision, the Faculty of Applied Sciences has curated comprehensive STEM programs that would help the candidates bring about meaningful change to the industry and society at large, as well as contribute to the advancement of the field. Currently, the faculty offers Master’s programs in Chemistry, Industrial Chemistry, Physics, Biochemistry, Biotechnology, Genetics, Forensic Science, Environmental Science, Food Technology, Microbiology, Nutrition and Dietetics, Applied Mathematics, and Geology.
Towards the cohort gaining an in-depth understanding and the ability to innovate in their domain, Parul University’s the Faculty of Science emphasises research-based learning and comprehensive industrial exposure at the Master’s level. Taught by top educators from IITs, NITs, IISc, and other leading educational centres, this format of learning helps the student transition easily from their alma mater to the industry. The pedagogy also gears the future academic and research efforts of the candidates towards cutting-edge applications of science and technology. Further, to enable this application-focused education, the institute has established world-class laboratories equipped with modern appliances and research facilities necessary for actively pursuing the frontier areas of scientific studies. Moreover, the thrust on industrial applications in the science programs is complemented by the overall vision of the university: working to bring about positive social change.
Above all, what sets the science-related endeavours of the university apart from that of its peers is the focus on inculcating critical and analytical thinking in the candidates. Parul University reckons that, much like other disciplines, science is dynamic. The methodologies and applications of the classical sciences are being increasingly questioned as more and more fundamental research is being conducted. So while the disciplines undergo dynamic changes, reasoning, critical thinking, and analysis remain the underpinnings of scientific advancements. Thus, the mastery of critical and analytical thinking would hold the candidates in good stead amid the evolving disciplines, and hence comes the importance laid by the faculty in instilling the skills.
Delineating the vision behind the Faculty of Applied Sciences, Dr. Parul Patel, Vice President, Parul University said, “We founded the Faculty of Applied Sciences at Parul University with the aim of disseminating a keen scientific knowledge that would not just boost industry applications of core scientific concepts and push the knowledge frontier but also help the society at large. Therefore, our focus is threefold: bridging the industry-academic gap with industry-geared training, strengthening the understanding of core scientific knowledge, and helping candidates identify areas where science could play a crucial role in helping society. We are constantly working towards fulfilling these noble aims.”
With the institution’s commitment to providing global exposure to its cohort, pursuing the sciences at Parul University also opens up the coveted opportunity to imbibe diverse and international perspectives into one’s work. Also, given that scientific research is collaborative by nature, it is worth noting that the university has over 75 Global Partnerships. Finally, in terms of career development in academia, the university also helps candidates in securing positions in leading universities across the USA. Canada, Australia and Europe.
Moreover, the placement figures of the university validate the university’s robust efforts to inculcate industry-specific learning. The average package stands at 8 LPA, while the highest-grossed package is 30 LPA. The impressive placement figures are a culmination of the university’s initiatives towards practical learning with steps such as the 700+ industry collaborations. Additionally, major companies that visit the placement drive include DMart, Flipkart, Godrej, ICICI Bank, BYJU’S, IndusInd Bank, Adani Gas, Patanjali, Aditya Birla Group, Colgate, Asian Paints, Amul, and Amazon, among others.
In conclusion, Parul University’s Faculty of Science represents the centre of education’s commitment to excellence in every way, be it in terms of benefit to the industry, society or the discipline in question. In the coming days as well, the faculty is poised to take the legacy of the institute ahead.
