\u201cAs a global university with a long and deep association with India through diverse educational partnerships, pioneering research and industry engagement, we are excited at the potential to expand our real-world impact in India,\u201d stated the spokesperson.\u00a0<\/p>\n

As a global university with a long and deep association with India\u2026 we are excited at the potential to expand our real-world impact in India
La Trobe University spokesperson<\/p>\n
La Trobe, a member of the seven-university Innovative Research Universities (IRU) network, was initially part of a consortium campus plan with fellow members Flinders University, Griffith University, James Cook University, the University of Canberra, and Western Sydney University, as previously reported<\/a> by The PIE.<\/p>\n Although initial discussions considered a joint campus in Haryana offering undergraduate programs in cybersecurity, software engineering, tourism and hospitality, artificial intelligence, and more, the member universities ultimately decided to pursue their individual offshore campus plans.<\/p>\n Among them, Western Sydney, is planning a branch campus in Greater Noida offering undergraduate courses in business analytics, business marketing, and an MBA in innovation and entrepreneurship, as well as logistics and supply chain management.<\/p>\n While GIFT City remains a major draw for international universities setting up in India, recent examples<\/a> highlight that North India is also gaining attention.\u00a0<\/p>\n Victoria University, for instance, is also planning to open a campus in Noida, which has recently emerged as a major industrial hub.<\/p>\n The dual-sector university, which offers both higher education and vocational training, will offer undergraduate programs in business, data science, and cyber security, and postgraduate degrees including an MBA and a Master\u2019s in IT, reports suggest.\u00a0<\/p>\n The University of Bristol joins the University of Southampton, University of Liverpool, University of York, and University of Aberdeen as another UK institution to have either established an India campus or been granted an LOI, while several others are also close to securing approvals.<\/p>\n Australia is also increasingly viewing India as a key offshore destination, with Deakin University and the University of Wollongong already offering undergraduate and postgraduate programs from their campuses in GIFT City, since last year.\u00a0<\/p>\n Before La Trobe, Victoria University, and Western Sydney University received UGC approval, the University of Western Australia became the first Australian institution to secure permission<\/a> for campuses in Mumbai and Chennai under the same framework, focusing on STEM and business.<\/p>\n
