Greetings from the desk of Director & Head, Amity Institute of International Studies (AIIS)
AIIS is a premier educational institution of the Amity University Uttar key role in the overall development of the society. The role of education is definitely not limited to giving and grasping knowledge and theory. AIIS focuses on the theoretical curriculum and extra-curricular activities which helps in the development of a student personality in overall perspective. Everything that makes a good institution are - a highly trained faculty, rich library, placement division, teaching methods, liberty to think and express themselves - we have it here.
The objective of higher education is associated with employment as it ensures a positive attitude to see the universe from better angle and to analyse, determine and apply an individual's idea in a constructive development of society. The true goal of education transcends much beyond just awarding degree and certificate to the students. The ultimate goal of education is the discovery of the meaning of life and the fulfilment of life and all mankind as well as for oneself. The quest of education is knowledge, humanity, culture, wisdom and sharpness but it should be noted that knowledge is not given but earned and character is not granted but cultivated.
Even in monumentally challenging times such as these, with the pandemic, AIIS has emerged as a beacon of excellence. We have maintained, even adapted well, to the new conditions of online teaching. The students have won several awards. They have been placed at different institutions and companies nationally and internationally. AIIS seeks to actively combat the challenges brought on by online education. The digital inclusion committee works tirelessly to ensure equity in access to online classes.

AIIS is a truly global community. We partake in multiple outreach programmes, international exchange programmes and initiatives. Students, in the course of their study, come across several outreach programmes that give them access to transform lives and the world around them.
The curriculum of each course/program has been framed, in consultation with international experts. The international relations topics and specializations include conflict and peace-making; comparative foreign policy; environmental policy; human rights; trade and financial regulation; international law; diplomatic tools and processes; migration and refugees; international security; and the role of international organizations such as the European Union. Besides quality teaching, emphasis is laid upon research and innovation all of which would respond in an integrated manner to the developmental needs of the country.
We at AIIS continuously strive for educational excellence. Our teaching-learning process is constantly evolving and with the changing times, we aspire and successfully create global leaders.
“The highest education is that which does not merely give us information but makes our life in harmony with all existence”.
Gurudev Rabindranath Tagore
