What is a Multidisciplinary university?
A multidisciplinary university is a university, which teaches/ offers its students subjects from different disciplines. For example, a technical university may offer its students only technical courses, an arts university may offer its students only art courses, but a multidisciplinary university offers its students all these courses. It offers programs ranging from arts, commerce, science,management etc.
The benefit of studying in a multidisciplinary university is the kind of exposure that the university offers. An arts student rubs shoulders with a commerce student, a commerce student with a science student and so on. Offering students to come across different schools of thought. This kind of on the campus interaction that the university offers is what sets the university apart from other single disciplinary universities.
