The University of Manchester has announced plans to establish a new centre in Bengaluru, India. This expansion aims to deepen the university's engagement with Indian students, businesses, and researchers, fostering new partnerships in education, research, and innovation.
The centre will implement the university's Partner-Enabled Learning model, providing students with opportunities for internships, work placements, and industry-linked projects. This approach is designed to equip students with practical skills crucial for their future careers.
Bengaluru was selected for its vibrant ecosystem of universities, research institutes, and technology companies. The university already maintains strong relationships with prominent Indian firms such as Reliance, Tata, and Infosys, intending to further strengthen these collaborations.
This move is part of the University of Manchester's global strategy, "From Manchester for the World." The university has a history of significant partnerships with Indian institutions, including a joint PhD program with the Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur launched in 2021.
