Abstract: This topic aims to give a vivid description of the relation between Interdisciplinary and Multidisciplinary Approaches in Higher Education. In higher education now a days there is a major need in changes along with adding multidisciplinary courses like Performing arts- music, dance and drama along with other art forms which may include art, craft, sculpture along with various practical skills which helps in developing critical thinking, preparing them to take diverse courses for career development and also includes vocational courses like skill development and computer education. Mainly multi discipline includes multiple courses or subject areas beyond single and regular based learning. Whereas if talking about interdisciplinary then it can be said that it focused on interconnection of materials or information of various concepts bringing in the connection with various other methods, perspectives, topics and creating a more holistic understanding, moving beyond single subject. This topic has included the idea of how multi and inter disciplines can change the curriculum structures and helps in developing various skill based curriculum which led to the growth of various inter courses and connection with those like including cross- cultural studies, learning new languages which helps in gaining knowledge about various cultures and now a days as new generations are unable to get in touch with their own culture that is why it is very necessary to give the knowledge of their own culture and study their own mother tongue language because the language education starts from when a child is in mother’s womb and listen to the outer sounds and which led to the knowledge of language and expressing their thoughts and understanding their own language. Thus, it is necessary to include inter and multi-disciplinary courses in the curriculum for advanced learning and better career options.
