The University of Aberdeen has confirmed it will open a new campus in India later this year. The branch campus will be based in the Powai area of Mumbai, with admissions now open and teaching expected to begin in September. Initial courses will focus on artificial intelligence, management, computing and data science. The university received approval from the Indian government last year to progress the plans. The move marks the institution’s first overseas campus and is intended to strengthen international academic links and attract students from across India and the wider region.
