Mapped to your credit structure
We work with the department and the registrar so the specialisation sits inside your existing catalogue rather than beside it.
For Higher Education
AI is not a module you add. It is the way the department will work.
Programme 04 is our specialisation year for universities, institutes and working professionals. One domain, applied through the year, judged on what a person can build and defend at the end of it.
Quick answer
NASCA runs an AI led domain specialisation for higher education. A department, a faculty cohort or a group of working professionals picks one of our sixteen sub-streams, works through it across the year with applied projects, and finishes with a capstone assessed on the same published six parameter rubric we use with schools. NASCA is accredited by the World STEM Federation.
Established 2017. Present in India, the UAE and the USA. 100,000+ learners have completed a NASCA programme. 30+ subject matter experts write and review the curriculum.

🧪
Applied briefs, not toy projects
Projects are drawn from real problems, including ones the cohort brings in from their own city or workplace.
📊
A published standard
Concept, application, structure, development, programming and analytical skills, presentation. The rubric is public before the first class.
🏛️
Ethics carried through
Responsible AI is not a closing lecture. Bias, limits and consequence are assessed inside every project.
🧾
Verifiable certification
Level based certificates with a public verification page, so an employer can check them in one click.
🌍
Run across three countries
India, the UAE and the USA, so a multi-campus institution gets one standard rather than three.
Questions we get a lot.
Are you accredited?+
Yes. NASCA is accredited by the World STEM Federation, and the certification our learners earn carries that endorsement.
Can we run this for one department first?+
Yes, and most institutions should. One department, one cohort, one year, then decide on the strength of the capstones.
Do you teach coding or the domain?+
The domain. Coding is one of the sixteen sub-streams, and where a specialisation needs it, it is taught as a tool inside the work rather than as the subject itself.
How is this priced?+
Per cohort, per year, and it depends on the domain, the size of the group and whether your faculty are training alongside. We quote after one conversation, not before.
What does a learner finish with?+
A capstone they built and defended, a six parameter score for each assessment cycle, and a level based certificate that can be verified publicly.
One department. One domain. One year.
The first conversation is with someone who writes the curriculum, not a sales team.
