The University of York is set to expand its global footprint by opening a campus in Mumbai, India, following the signing of a memorandum of understanding with Maharashtra’s Chief Minister. The new campus is slated to open by the 2026/27 academic year, subject to approval from India’s University Grants Commission.
Initially, the campus will offer undergraduate and postgraduate degrees focused on high-demand areas such as computer science, AI, cybersecurity, business, economics, and creative industries. The courses will follow the same curriculum as those taught at the university’s UK campus, and students will earn a University of York degree upon graduation.
The initial phase will take place in a business district building in Mumbai, with plans to develop a fully-fledged campus over the following years. This expansion aligns with York’s ambition to contribute to India’s growing educational sector, particularly in preparing the next generation of business leaders and tech professionals.
