"Symbiosis Centre for International Education (SCIE), a department within our university that embodies our commitment to fostering global understanding, ethical values, creativity, and entrepreneurship among our students and faculty. At Symbiosis, we firmly believe in the principle of 'Vasudhaiva Kutumbakam,' which teaches us that the world is one family. To transform this belief into action, SCIE plays a pivotal role in nurturing cross-cultural sensitization and developing global competencies among our students. These competencies are vital in building bridges of understanding and cooperation across diverse cultures, a fundamental step towards creating a more harmonious and peaceful world. Ethical and value-based learning is another cornerstone of our educational philosophy. By instilling ethical values in our students, we aim to cultivate responsible and accountable citizens who contribute positively to society. This commitment to ethics extends beyond the classroom and into the actions of our graduates, who carry these values with them into the world."
SCIE is a testament to our commitment to global education, ethical values, creativity, and entrepreneurship. It embodies our belief that education goes beyond classroom learning—it is about equipping our students with the skills and values needed to create a better world.
