In a novel decision in the realm of higher education, the authorities of Maharshi Dayanand University (MDU) here have launched several five-year honours courses for school pass-outs from this academic session.

The most significant aspect of this move is that after passing their senior secondary (10+2) examination, the school students can get themselves enrolled directly in these masters'-level courses offered by the university.

Thus, for the students going in for these courses, the college stage would be bypassed, as they are not required to do their graduation for getting admitted to these postgraduate study programmes.

The new courses introduced by the MDU authorities include six-year integrated programme Master of Visual Arts (painting), five-year integrated MBA, five-year integrated MSc (Honours) in Economics, five-year integrated MSc (Honours) in Mathematics and a five-year integrated MCom (Honours) course.

The university has also started a BSc (Honours) course in Chemistry, besides a three-year advanced diploma course in dance (Kathak), one-year certificate course in harmonium and a PG diploma in retail management under self-financing scheme.

Then, there is a PG diploma course in remote-sensing and geographic information system, having a provision of sponsored seats for working teachers at the MDU geography department and colleges in Haryana.

"The students enrolling for the five-year integrated MSc (Honours) courses will get BSc (Honours) degree on completion of three years. After this, the students can pursue MSc (Honours) degree in continuation or go in for higher studies elsewhere," says Prof Surender Kumar, dean (academic affairs).

"The underlying idea behind starting these programmes was to ensure the provision of quality education to young students," he maintains, adding that these courses had been designed to equip the students with the latest know-how in their chosen field of study.
