Several UK and Australian institutions have launched, or are on the cusp of launching, new branch campuses in India, sparking warnings over the difficulties of sustaining such international outposts in the long term.
The University of Southampton and University of New South Wales have both started teaching in Delhi and Bangalore respectively, with many others are hoping to follow suit in coming months, encouraged by the Indian government.
On this week’s podcast, THE news editor Tom Williams joins Campus editor Miranda Prynne to discuss what lies behind this surge of interest in setting up Indian outposts. Tom explains how these plans differ from the branch campuses of past years, the risks associated with setting up an institution in a new country and how the UK government’s stance on internationalisation is impacting such efforts.
