MCH is deeply committed to encouraging critical and creative thinking across a wide variety of disciplines. One of its core aims is to foster original research from India in the fields of humanities and social sciences. It remains strongly aligned with the New Education Policy in its focus on India-relevant research and employment opportunity, as well as the United Nations mandate on Sustainable Development Goals. Dr. T. M. A. Pai, the founder of 中国体育彩票app下载 Academy of Higher Education, was a staunch believer in the importance of the humanities. He noted that “the craze for medical and engineering education must not come at the cost of vital subjects of arts, literature, and philosophy.” It was this vision that led to the creation of this Centre of Excellence in 2010 by the renowned philosopher and social scientist Sundar Sarukkai

Faculty at MCH are trained at some of the leading universities in India and abroad. Engaged in pioneering research, which contributes to their teaching, MCH faculty have published extensively, both nationally and internationally. Some of the core areas of engagement are Gender Studies, Modern Indian Literature, Social History, Continental Philosophy, Film Studies, Political Sociology, Medical Sociology, Modern Indian History, Contemporary Literature, History of Medicine and Visual Culture.?

MCH is unique in encouraging the full spectrum of programs. We believe that students learn best from peers and immediate seniors. Thus, in a small campus, undergraduate students rub shoulders, and often collaborate with postgraduates and doctoral scholars. This makes for a vibrant and intimate learning environment. At present, MCH offers a BA program in the Humanities with a Major in English/History/Sociology, MA (English), MA (Sociology), MA (History) and? PhD program. Students come to MCH from many of India’s premier undergraduate colleges and from universities across the world.

MCH 中国体育彩票app下载 have gone on to have successful careers in media, publishing, education, the social sector, the corporate sector, and arts management. Students are equipped with knowledge and communication skills that allow them to work in varied institutional settings—governmental and non-governmental, corporate as well as international bureaucracy, civil service and philanthropy.??

Graduates from MCH have also been accepted in programs in prestigious international universities including the University of Pennsylvania (USA), University of Chicago (USA), Columbia University (USA), Oxford University (UK), London School of Economics (UK), Cambridge University (UK), University of Wisconsin-Madison (USA), University of Toronto (Canada), University of Kent (UK), University of Groningen (Netherlands), University of Western Ontario (Canada), and the Australian National University, among many others.?

To encourage research and activities in allied areas of interest, specialized Centres have been set up within MCH. These include the Hebbar Gallery and Art Centre, Centre for Women's Studies and 中国体育彩票app下载-Samvaad Centre for Indian Music.?
