Vice Chancellor

The statement"Your future will be decided by what you do today" is so apt for everyone joining TMU. Your destiny will be shaped by what you do during the years you are with us. It's important to differentiate between earning a degree & learning. The academic processes of TMU are tailored to learning and skill development. Many years ago Albert Einstein said "The purpose of education is to develop thinking" and similarly Herbert Simon stated, "Learning occurs from what the student does and thinks".

The biggest challenge for both, institutions and students is to take a detour from the traditional approach of rote learning and written examination which emphasized, for too long, recall and memorization, This approach stifled well-structured thinking and creativity in universities. For decades, we have been functioning in classrooms like a transceiver system and evaluating students through "direct and single correct answer" questions, which never tested learning or thinking. It was a test of memory.

We can assure you of a different experience in TMU where you will deal with real-life problems and situations. You will spend a good amount of time doing and thinking. The academic processes at TMU will equip you with the skills and thinking needed to deal with both your professional and personal life. We have a well-structured programme delivery mechanism that assures learning and a well-rounded personality. I am sure your experience will be unique and quite enriching thus preparing you to face real-life challenges in the future.

Wishing you all the best!
