A new campus in India, dedicated to research, teaching and the extension of the University’s mission for public good.
We are opening a campus in Mumbai, connected to local industry and business, and dedicated to the extraordinary dynamism of Maharashtra.
With strong and enduring ties with India, through our vibrant alumni network and research collaborations, the University of York Mumbai is committed to quality, accessible and excellent higher education.
We are planning to welcome undergraduate and postgraduate students for the 2026/27 academic year.
The University of York Mumbai will initially offer undergraduate and postgraduate courses in:
Programmes in these emerging fields - AI, cybersecurity and the creative industries - will be designed with global industry input, to boost job readiness in high-demand sectors and open career pathways for Indian learners.
A distinctive feature of University of York Mumbai will be its strong emphasis on research from the outset.
This commitment to research will underpin teaching and the student experience, but will also contribute significantly to India’s growing demand and drive for research development and innovation in areas such as food security, environmental change and future technologies.
We're one of only four UK universities to be rated both Gold for teaching and top ten for research in the latest national assessment exercises.
All programmes will be delivered in line with York’s academic standards, with students graduating with a University of York degree, enabling York to bring its quality academic model directly to one of the fastest-growing education markets in the world.
The plans are to initially open our doors in an existing building in a business quarter of Mumbai, and then develop a full campus complex over the coming years.
As a University for public good, we’re taking our values-driven approach to education and research, working with a country that has an ambitious drive for global influence, skills development and economic growth.
