ABOUT FLAME UNIVERSITY

FLAME University's educational philosophy is rooted in the concept of Liberal Education. It equips students to deal with an ever-changing new world by interconnecting social sciences, humanities, physical sciences, business, design, natural sciences, fine and performing arts, communications management, and computational sciences. At FLAME, students interact with various disciplines and are encouraged to address pressing world challenges by incorporating a range of different perspectives. The university aims to help students grow as critical thinkers and lifelong learners as they lead purposeful lives rather than just narrow professions.
