The University of Melbourne on 17 September, 2024 opened its first global centre in Delhi to promote its educational programs and attract students from India.

The Melbourne Global Centre will serve as the university's main hub in India, promoting collaboration and knowledge exchange in education, research, industry, and the community. However, it will not be a teaching centre or an offshore campus.

The centre will help the university showcase its educational programs, research, and community projects. Moreover, it will also host cultural performances, art exhibitions, and lectures, and serve as a link between the university and Indian businesses, industry partners, and academic institutions.

As a step towards educational collaboration between India and University, the centre is reflective of Australia and India’s shared vision for education and research as a key driver for economic growth and would unlock new opportunities for students and researchers to innovate and address shared challenges for the mutual benefit of both nations.
