The University of New South Wales (UNSW), one of Australia’s leading universities, is set to open its campus in Bengaluru at Manyata Tech Park in August this year.

The announcement followed the signing of a memorandum of understanding (MoU) in the presence of Minister for Large and Medium Industries MB Patil and Higher Education Minister MC Sudhakar. The MoU was exchanged by UNSW Vice-Chancellor Attila Brungs and Industries Department Principal Secretary S Selvakumar. Initially, the campus will offer undergraduate programs in commerce, media, computer science, and data science, as well as a postgraduate program in cybersecurity.

Minister Patil emphasised that the academic council of UNSW would oversee the Bengaluru campus, ensuring the same curriculum as at the parent university. He also highlighted the strong industry exposure students will gain, given the proximity to many leading companies in Manyata Tech Park. "UNSW will also set up a campus at the upcoming KWIN City," he said.
