The University of New South Wales (UNSW) Sydney in Australia has announced that it will open its first overseas campus in Bengaluru, India, in 2026.
The announcement was made by Australia’s Federal Education Minister Jason Clare at a meeting of the Australia India Education and Skills Council in New Delhi this week, hosted by India’s Education Minister Dharmendra Pradhan.
“Education is one of Australia’s biggest exports. And it is not a one-way street. It’s not just about students coming here. It’s also Australian universities coming to them. This is a great example of that. UNSW coming to India will create the highest-ranked university in the country. It will open up new opportunities for young people in India and bring our two countries even closer together,” Clare said.

UNSW Bengaluru will be established in line with India’s National Education Policy 2020, which enables top-ranked foreign institutions to set up branch campuses in India to boost the country’s higher education quality.
Speaking about UNSW’s upcoming campus in Bengaluru, Pradhan said, “I am very happy to welcome UNSW to India; to watch the emergence of new connections between Indian and Australian students, academics and industry, to help realise India’s vision to be a global destination for education, knowledge creation and innovation from which all of society can benefit.”
The upcoming campus in Bengaluru will offer existing UNSW undergraduate degrees in business, media, computer science and data science, as well as a postgraduate degree in cybersecurity.
Quality assurance will be implemented through joint governance structures and overseen by UNSW’s Academic Board.
The campus will also aim to contribute to UNSW’s efforts to diversify international student recruitment markets.
