With a history of 40 years of innovation in education and research domains, VIT has been a forerunner in delivering quality education and contributing towards the nation building process. Consistently ranked among the top educational institutes in the country, the VIT group of institutions have been endeavoring relentlessly in their pursuit for knowledge and excellence in engineering and science education. In keeping up with this tradition, the leadership at VIT-AP University resonates a dynamic blend of academia-industry partnership with a vision of creating a competent work force of young generations to confront modern day challenges on par with some of the finest academic institutions in the world. The VIT-AP campus, poised to become one of the country's best campuses, offers several avenues to explore students' interests, enables realizing core competencies, engages in life-long learning, inculcates broad-minded thinking, enthusiasm to face challenges and contribute solutions.

The School of Advanced Sciences (SAS) is one of the seven Schools of VIT-AP University, and it houses the Departments of Mathematics, Physics, and Chemistry. Here, students are taught how to think critically through project-based learning (PBL) and not merely what to think. Students are encouraged to question, explore, and research throughout their studies, ranging across the various disciplines of sciences. Our School aims to provide a solid foundation in Natural Sciences, projecting the recent scientific and technological developments to the graduate, postgraduate, and Ph.D. students. We aspire to be a valuable contributor towards the nation's growth by producing highly skilled professionals and by engaging in cutting-edge research. SAS earnestly pursues a vision of providing local, regional, national, and international leadership in research and technology development. We believe in the quality of education and research with ethical and professional standards for a better tomorrow. Here, students make their choices based on their preferences and requirements that equip them with a balance of logical-thinking and problem-solving skills, which are essential to tackle today and tomorrow's professional challenges.

The spectrum of research activities at SAS is extensive and distinct. The school has more than 40 registered faculties under the Research Grants in Engineering, Management, and Science (RGEMS); an initiative from VIT-AP University, to motivate research that can lead to R&D projects. In collaboration with our faculty, undergraduate students pursue active interdisciplinary research through undergraduate research experience (URE) projects to make intellectual and creative contributions towards the advancement in science.
