Set up campuses in India, envoy urges UK universities

India’s high commissioner to the United Kingdom has urged British universities to set up campuses for higher education in the south Asian country. Vikram Doraiswami also called for further opportunities to expand bilateral exchanges – bringing more UK students to India for short stays, internship and collaborative learning experiences, reports Eastern Eye.

The Indian high commission hosted six UK universities in London to celebrate the expansion of higher education ties under the National Education Policy 2020.

The institutions that have signed letters of intent to establish campuses in India include the University of Southampton; University of Liverpool; University of York; Newcastle University; Coventry University and Queen’s University Belfast. This week, the University of Southampton will become the first foreign university to officially open its doors in India.
