India’s first-ever international branch campus has opened at Deakin University, which is among the top 1% of universities in the world. This is a landmark initiative epitomizing the friendship, collaboration and commitment between the Indian and Australian Governments and Deakin University, supporting the tangible realization of knowledge exchange and educational excellence envisioned by the National Education Policy 2020 .
The Indian Prime Minister, Narendra Modi, met with the Deakin delegation in advance of the official campus inauguration. During their meeting, he discussed the future campus inauguration in conjunction with the Vibrant Gujarat Summit, Deakin’s three-decade presence and engagement in India, and improving cooperation between the government and academic institutions with regard to cyber security.
Local students can enroll in Deakin’s world-class, future-ready postgraduate courses in business analytics and cyber security at half the cost of Australian international fees thanks to the university’s GIFT City Campus in India.
There has been an increase in interest in studying at Deakin’s GIFT City Campus due to the programs’ international accreditation and the opportunity for special internships within GIFT City’s industry network.
The program, which costs about 21 lac rupees for a two-year duration (fast-tracked to 18 months), will be taught by staff from both domestic and foreign universities and feature guest lectures from prominent members of the industry.
