Azim Premji University

We believe that education can contribute to well-being and social justice.

Azim Premji University was founded in 2010, with the vision to contribute to the realisation of a just, equitable, humane and sustainable society. 

We now have postgraduate degrees in Education, Development, Economics, Public Health, and an LLM in Law and Development. We offer undergraduate degrees in social science (Economics, Social Science), science (Mathematics, Physics, Chemistry, and Biology), and the Humanities (English, History, and Philosophy). We offer a dual degree in science and teacher education.

We conduct more than 150 short courses for professionals every year, in the fields of education, development, policy, and governance across the country. 

Our Library aims to serve the teaching and research needs of our University community. It serves all students and active members of the Foundation and its partners: at the University, Field Institutes, and Philanthropy. 

We have conducted more than 1000 workshops for working professionals – teachers, teacher educators, development professionals and researchers alike. Our students come from diverse social backgrounds and are supported through our efforts to make education accessible.

Over 3314 graduates from our programmes have gone on to create gradual but impactful change in the social sector. Our faculty create and teach challenging and reflective curricula for the classroom, research, and field practice. 

Our Research Centre brings together individuals from across the University, and collaborates with other institutions in interdisciplinary teams. We address critical questions about India’s futures.
