The University of New South Wales, Sydney, has received official clearance to establish a campus in Bengaluru, with the first batch of students expected to start in August 2026.
The University of New South Wales (UNSW) Sydney has secured the necessary regulatory approval to set up a new campus in Bengaluru, Karnataka. The clearance, granted by local authorities, paves the way for the Australian university to expand its footprint in India.
UNSW plans to commence academic activities at the Bengaluru site in August 2026, targeting the enrolment of its inaugural cohort of students. The university has indicated that the campus will offer a range of undergraduate and postgraduate programmes aligned with its existing curriculum.
The establishment of the campus is expected to strengthen educational ties between Australia and India, providing Indian students with access to UNSW’s research‑intensive environment without leaving the country. It also reflects a broader trend of foreign universities seeking a presence in India’s fast‑growing higher‑education market.
