Frequent workshops are conducted on
contemporary issues such as science, technology, business and media to help the students stay abreast of latest developments. With a learner-centric, experiential and technology-based teaching and learning method at ASU, the university also provides a platform to foster a culture of entrepreneurship. ASU has collaboration with associations such as the National Entrepreneurship Network (NEN), Indus Entrepreneurs (TiE) and Confederation of Indian Industry (CII).
