Atria University is India’s first Liberal STEM University, pioneering education that blends scientific depth, interdisciplinary choice, and real-world capability. Industry has evolved—disciplines are merging, AI is reshaping every field, and sustainability is driving global progress, yet academia has not kept pace. Liberal STEM restores what education should be: a place to question, imagine, build, and become.

Our project-based pedagogy gives students both depth and breadth: expertise in one domain and the freedom to integrate knowledge across others. India’s challenges in energy, mobility, climate resilience, and digital infrastructure demand builders who can merge science, engineering, AI, and sustainability to design real solutions.

That’s why our programmes focus on high-growth, future-critical domains: Digital Transformation & AI, Life Sciences, Energy Sciences, eMobility, and Sustainability. Across every pathway, AI is woven into learning, research, and problem-solving. As automation accelerates, human insight, creativity, and critical thinking become the true differentiators.

Atria University is also a Living Laboratory for sustainable innovation. Our Centres of Excellence function as convergence hubs where advanced technologies meet deep scientific research, enabling students to build and test scalable solutions for real-world challenges. Our students become Beyonders, frontier thinkers and enterprising builders, equipped with not just a degree, but a body of real-world work that reflects their capability and impact.

Why Choose Atria University?

⚛️

Liberal STEM: Freedom to Explore, Depth to Excel

Begin with a common STEM Fundamentals year before choosing your Major–Minor. Explore high-growth domains through design thinking, analytical reasoning, and hands-on learning—gaining the depth, breadth, and freedom to shape your own academic pathway.

📁

Project-Based Learning With a Portfolio That Stands Out

Complete 40+ real-world projects and 12 months of industry-aligned internships built directly into the programme. From day one, you learn by doing—solving problems, building prototypes, and delivering outcomes. Graduate with a high-impact portfolio that commands attention in industry, research, and entrepreneurship.

🚀

Zero-Gap Learning: Fully Aligned With Industry & the Future of Work

Our sprint-style, agile curriculum evolves with emerging technologies and industry needs. Immersive, industry-curated sprints prepare you for real-world challenges, ensuring zero gap between academic learning and professional readiness.

🤖

AI as a Horizontal: Intelligence in Every Discipline

AI is woven across all programmes—powering creativity, discovery, and design. You’ll learn to use it responsibly and imaginatively, developing the human insight, creativity, and critical thinking that make you adaptable and future-ready.

🧪

Beyonder Studios: Build, Break, Invent, Repeat

A dynamic maker space where ideas become prototypes. Experiment, design, and innovate across mediums, nurturing your entrepreneurial mindset through exploration, iteration, and hands-on creation.

🏛️

Centres of Excellence: Learning Inside a Living Lab

Our CoEs are Living Laboratories where AI meets deep science across biology, energy, mobility, and the environment. Work with senior researchers and industry experts on national missions—from climate resilience to next-generation energy systems.

🌱

Sustainability as a Mandate, Not a Module

Sustainability is woven into every programme and CoE. From working on projects designing microgrids, cultivating food forests, engineering clean-energy systems, to building sustainable ventures, you’ll learn to create solutions that serve both people and the planet.

Founder's Vision

'Run the rat race to qualify for the best, on metrics that have no true bearing on how prepared they will be for the world they will step into' . A man once said, deeply unsettled by how many pedigreed institutions function as filters to acquire the best students and thrive off their legacy, with no thought of how to enable or inspire them. After a prolific career spanning four decades and across industries, Sunder Raju returned to his long coveted dream of establishing an institute that recognized students as the autonomous learners they are. In 2020, this dream became a reality through Atria University.

Atria University, fuelled by the intellectual curiosities and expertise of some of India and the world's brightest, is attempting to address the challenge of tomorrow by stitching together disparate learnings into a single holistic process, exemplified by its motto Learning to Learn. On learning to learn, he comments, "if that is the only skill that a student takes away, I believe we would have provided a truly differentiated offering. " Not willing to stop there, he reveals his larger goal: creating a citizen of tomorrow.

With its technology enriched classes, individualized learning paths, and opportunities for peer and collaborative learning, Atria University believes in learning or by doing, or as we like to call it; active-learning. Sunder Raju is convinced that the educational system as we know it must evolve if the youth of tomorrow are to survive, thrive, contribute and find solutions to the problems that we, as a species, are facing.
