The University of New South Wales (UNSW) Sydney is set to open its first international campus in Bengaluru, India, in August 2026. This initiative includes a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) with Deloitte India to create a Centre of Excellence (CoE) focused on Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Innovation. The CoE aims to bridge education with industry practices, providing students with hands-on experience in high-growth sectors such as AI, data science, and digital transformation. Through this collaboration, students will engage in applied research initiatives, working alongside UNSW faculty and Deloitte experts to tackle real-world challenges and develop innovative solutions. The partnership also includes the establishment of a dedicated start-up and innovation lab to foster entrepreneurship among students and faculty. Professor Sarah Maddison, Deputy Vice-Chancellor at UNSW Sydney, emphasized that this collaboration aligns with UNSW's commitment to delivering industry-engaged education and preparing graduates for future job markets.
