Students at MU can now choose electives from 500 new courses

The University of Mumbai has launched over 510 new open elective (OE) courses this year, spanning the field of humanities, science, commerce, technology, and interdisciplinary studies. Such a move allows students the freedom to study subjects outside their main discipline, opening the doors for learning, skill development, and career flexibility. Over 550 professors worked for two years to design and finalise the new curriculum.

Among the new electives, over 200 are from the faculty of humanities, over 100 are from the science stream, 81 from the commerce stream, 88 from interdisciplinary studies, and 28 from the technology field.
