From the desk of Vice-Chancellor

Dr. Leena SrivastavaVice-ChancellorTERI SAS

The TERI School of Advanced Studies is striving to empower a niche set of students to become integrated systems thinkers and solutions providers� While all of them come to this Institution with a core disciplinary focus, in the two years they spend with us, we not only strengthen their core but also broaden their perspective vis-à-vis the multi-dimensionality of real world problems� As such, our students could do equally well in select traditional roles and also in emerging roles that require integrative skills�

Sustainability is a concept that today needs to pervade all aspects of business� Our students bring that edge of sustainability thinking to the workplace� The University’s alumni, who can be found in very diverse organisations, bear testimony to the value that they are able to bring with them� The USP of our students, we find, gets revealed over a period of time and not necessarily at the time of interviews where they are competing with well-established notions of job requirements�

I would like to call upon all interested recruiters to spend a few minutes with faculty from relevant programmes to better appreciate the design of the programme of study at the university and its learning outcomes� This interaction could not only, hopefully, improve the process outcome but would also serve as a very valuable feedback to us on our programme design and delivery�

From the desk of Pro-Vice Chancellor

Academic programmes at the TERI SAS are focused around the challenges of providing for a rising global population with a limited and degraded natural resource base� In moving towards sustainability, the implicit understanding is that there is no panacea or straight road, with recognized and established methodologies, tools or specializations leading to such development� The solutions therefore do not lie in a specific subject discipline, but must be appropriate and relevant to the context or the practical problem being addressed� Developing such an understanding among its students is best achieved through exposure to a variety of subjects, tools, and methodologies offered in interdisciplinary mode� This has been the guiding philosophy behind the programmes offered by the TERI SAS and is practised by building a theoretical understanding in courses covering a variety of traditional disciplines, such as ecology, natural and social sciences, governance, policy, law, and engineering�

At the TERI SAS, students are exposed to a new way of thinking that looks at problems not from the lens of a subject specialist, but from the perspective of one who recognizes the complex linkages between man and his environment�

The TERI SAS’s programmes are unique, not only in terms of the degrees, but in terms of the fact that they equip the graduates to lead in a resource-sensitive world� The programmes leverage TERI’s knowledge capital in sustainable development to deepen the social and ethical consciousness of higher education in India�

We are sure that you will find graduates of these programmes to be competent leaders with a holistic and long-term perspective for a world that demands new skills and attitude�

Your feedback will be most valuable to us, and we look forward to it�

PRoGRAM outlInE

The M Sc in Economics (with specialisation in Environment and Resource Economics) programme aims to apply economic theory to real world situations with a special focus on ecological, environmental and natural resource issues� The specialised nature of this programme makes it unique, challenging and relevant�

The programme is designed to provide students with a balanced exposure to both theoretical and empirical methods for research and practical application in diverse real-world situations� Subjects like microeconomics, macroeconomics, international trade, economics of natural resources, etc� build the conceptual knowledge of students and subjects such as basic and advanced econometrics, time series, and regression provide the required empirical training�

In addition to the written exams, there is an emphasis on developing research skills among the students� The students are required to submit literature surveys and term papers in the first two semesters to develop their analytical and writing skills� From the third semester onwards, all the elective courses include a critical review of classic literature in the form of reference reports and presentations� This is further strengthened by a compulsory thesis - an integral component of the programme to provide students a hands-on opportunity to apply economic concepts and methods to tackle a wide range of real problems and policies�
