Simova Programmes in
Applied Liberal Arts
The Liberal Arts (also known as Humanities) are generally understood to mean subjects like literature, history, geography and anthropology as distinct from science and technology.
But today a Liberal Arts education relates to general intellectual development rather than vocational training. It is more to do with breadth of vision than skills. It is the ability to see the big picture rather than merely look at spreadsheets. This is a most crucial prerequisite to be a successful leader or manager or a professional today.
The Humanities, as taught in the conventional educational system, are theoretical and academic. Simova will present these subjects in a way that is enlightening, practical and relevant in a 21st century context and perspective.
Our programmes are conceived and designed for the world of today and tomorrow. They will provide collateral or part-time learning for college students, professionals, and just about anyone interested in advancing their life and career.

"The little secret that Liberal Arts colleges have not explained well enough is that the majority of CEOs of Fortune 500 companies and high-tech companies were Liberal Arts subject majors."
