The University of Liverpool announced plans to open its first international campus in Bengaluru, with the inaugural intake of students set for August 2026.
The move marks the first U.K. university presence in India’s technology capital and reflects deepening education ties between the two nations.

The university received a formal approval by India’s Minister of Education on May 26 at an event in New Delhi.
The upcoming campus will offer undergraduate and postgraduate programs in business management, accounting and finance, computer science, biomedical sciences, and game design — the latter being a first for U.K. campuses in India.
“Opening a campus in the State of Karnataka and Bengaluru feels like the next natural step, building on the fantastic partnerships and collaborations we already enjoy there. We look forward to providing talented students with access to an exceptional learning experience and a range of fantastic opportunities to develop their skills and employability,” said professor Tim Jones, vice-chancellor of the University of Liverpool.
Students at the Bengaluru campus will benefit from the university’s global curriculum, career-focused initiatives, and mobility schemes offering international exposure. The campus will also serve as a research hub, aligned with India’s National Education Policy 2020, and aims to address both global and local challenges.
The University of Liverpool has long-standing partnerships in Karnataka, including with the National Institute of Mental Health and Neurosciences and the Indian Institute of Science.
It also signed new memoranda of understanding with AstraZeneca Pharma India, YouWeCan, Dream11, and other Indian partners to explore future collaboration.
The British Council hailed the development as a major step in expanding access to world-class education and research collaboration between the U.K. and India. “The UK and India are working together to inspire, empower and connect the next generation of leaders and changemakers,” said British High Commissioner to India Lindy Cameron.
