Four-Year Undergraduate Programme Expands Options Amid Implementation Challenges
The Four-Year Undergraduate Programme (FYUP) offers students expanded academic options, including the choice to exit after three years with a recognized degree or continue for a fourth year to deepen their studies or pursue advanced degrees. While FYUP aims to combine breadth and depth through multidisciplinary learning, its implementation has faced challenges such as policy confusion, unclear guidelines, and infrastructure issues, affecting student experiences. Experts highlight the potential of interdisciplinary education to enhance traditional disciplines and better prepare students for diverse career paths.
