Bengaluru — In a significant development for international higher education in India, the University of Liverpool has officially broken ground on its new campus in Alembic City, Whitefield, Bengaluru, marking the beginning of a major UK-India academic collaboration.
The ground-breaking ceremony brought together senior university leadership, UK government representatives and education leaders, highlighting the institution’s commitment to delivering world-class British higher education in India. The campus is designed as a future-ready learning and research environment featuring smart classrooms, collaborative hubs, specialised research facilities and industry-linked innovation spaces.
Admissions Open for 2026 Academic Year
The University has already opened applications for its first student cohort, which will begin studies in 2026. Prospective students can apply online and choose from a range of programmes that mirror the same UK-accredited curriculum and standards offered at Liverpool’s UK campus.
The initial academic portfolio includes:
- Undergraduate degrees in Computer Science, Business Management, Accounting & Finance, Biomedical Sciences, Game Design, and Computer Science with Software Development
- Postgraduate programmes in fields such as Accounting & Finance MSc and Computer Science MSc
Students will benefit from interactive learning environments, digital tools and opportunities for industry engagement and global exposure through research collaborations and mobility options.
Affordable International Education with Scholarships
One of the most notable features of the Bengaluru campus is its cost-effective fee structure — offering a globally recognised British degree at less than half the cost of studying abroad in the UK. The University will also provide a range of merit-based and needs-based scholarships, enabling broader access for talented students from diverse backgrounds. Detailed scholarship information will be published soon on the official admissions portal.
Strategic Location & Industry Integration
Bengaluru’s status as a technology and innovation hub — with its thriving IT, biotech and research ecosystem — makes it an ideal setting for the University’s first Indian campus. The location in Whitefield places students amid major corporate centres and a dynamic start-up environment, offering enhanced industry-linked learning and employment pathways.
University leadership emphasised that the campus will not only strengthen academic ties between India and the UK under the framework of the National Education Policy (NEP) 2020 but also expand opportunities for cutting-edge research and cross-disciplinary collaboration.
Applications for the inaugural intake at the University of Liverpool Bengaluru campus are now live, with detailed information on eligibility, programmes, fees and scholarships available through the university’s official admissions portal.
