The University of Bristol in the UK has received approval from the University Grants Commission (UGC) to establish a campus in Mumbai, with plans to commence operations in 2026, according to officials on Tuesday. “Due to open in summer 2026, the Mumbai Enterprise Campus will be the University’s first international campus. It’s a historic moment and a first in transnational education for the University, which next year celebrates its 150th anniversary and also opens the doors to its new Temple Quarter Enterprise Campus,” reads the official notice.
Marking the fifth anniversary of India’s National Education Policy (NEP) 2020, the University of Bristol obtained a letter of intent from the Indian government to develop a new Enterprise Campus in Mumbai.
Officials noted that the University of Bristol selected Mumbai due to its strong reputation in technology, innovation, and the arts — areas that closely align with Bristol’s strengths. The proposed campus location is situated near central Mumbai.
Similar to the University’s new Temple Quarter Enterprise Campus, slated to open in September 2026, the Mumbai campus will emphasise how data, AI, and immersive technologies converge, with a focus on innovation, interdisciplinary education, and inclusion.
Initial courses will cover areas of global expertise for Bristol, such as data science, economics, finance and investment, immersive arts, and financial technology, expanding to computer science and AI, business, and management. The University also plans to offer scholarships through its acclaimed Think Big programme, reported PTI.
“We are absolutely delighted to announce our intention to create a new campus in Mumbai which would mark a pivotal transformation in our 150-year history and a powerful, globally inclusive future we are proud to build in partnership. Developing an in-country base has long been part of our international strategy and supports our ambition to be a top 50 global university,” Evelyn Welch, Vice Chancellor and President of the University of Bristol, said.
“Less than two weeks ago, we launched the UK’s most powerful supercomputer in Bristol, and next year we will be opening the doors to our new Temple Quarter Enterprise Campus. At such an important time for the University, we are pleased to develop partnerships across the globe which will have meaningful impact,” he said.
