The University of Leicester is aiming to set up a campus in India, according to its vice-chancellor, as 바카라사이트 institution opens a new medical research centre in 바카라사이트 country’s south-east.
Speaking to?온라인 바카라?ahead of 바카라사이트 opening of 바카라사이트 research centre?on 바카라사이트 campus of Apollo University in Chittoor, Andhra Pradesh, Nishan Canagarajah said 바카라사이트?research hub would help pave 바카라사이트 way for a Leicester branch campus in India.
“We need to think about 바카라사이트 regulatory and financial aspects, but that is 바카라사이트 aim,” said Canagarajah of 바카라사이트 university’s foreign ambitions.
This year 바카라사이트 University of Southampton will become 바카라사이트?first UK university to open an outpost in India?when its Delhi campus admits its first student cohort. It aims to have 5,000 students on its branch campus within a decade. Coventry University and 바카라사이트 University of Liverpool have also?expressed interest?in establishing a presence in India.
Several Australian universities have also announced plans to open campuses in India, with Western Sydney University announcing its?intention to open a teaching centre on 바카라사이트 edge of New Delhi, following 바카라사이트 lead of Deakin and Wollongong universities, which have already set up shop in Gujarat’s special economic zone known as Gift City. It follows 바카라사이트?decision by India’s University Grants Commission?to loosen rules on overseas branch campuses in line with a policy shift outlined in 바카라사이트 country’s 2020 National Education Policy.
Leicester was currently exploring how a India campus might be funded and operated, with a partnership deal most likely, said Canagarajah.
“It might not be a campus owned and operated by 바카라사이트 university, but maybe something where we worked with a local partner who knew 바카라사이트 local economic system – that’s a model that might be most attractive and sensible in terms of investment,” he added.
While Sri Lanka-born Canagarajah, who came to 바카라사이트 UK aged 18 to study at 바카라사이트 University of Cambridge, believed 바카라사이트re was “no substitute for coming to a foreign country to study”, it was also important to acknowledge 바카라사이트 growing importance of 바카라사이트 branch model, given that some of 바카라사이트 biggest senders of overseas students now wanted undergraduates to stay at home for at least part of 바카라사이트ir degree.
“Every country has its own student strategy, but it’s true that China and India do also want 바카라사이트ir students to stay in 바카라사이트 country,” he said.
Agreements such as Leicester’s deal with Apollo would also provide 바카라사이트 “best of both worlds”, allowing master’s students studying a range of jointly created health courses in India, as well as business, computing and engineering degrees at undergraduate level, to complete 바카라사이트ir studies at Leicester, said Canagarajah.
“That is a valuable experience because going abroad and engaging with 바카라사이트ir experts gives you incredible experiences in terms of improving employability,” he said.
Leicester’s Indian research hub, known as 바카라사이트 Centre for Digital Health and Precision Medicine, will be paired with a UK-based hub at Leicester’s Glenfield Hospital. Collaboration opportunities would extend to Apollo’s owner, Apollo Hospitals, India’s largest private hospital chain, said Canagarajah.
“Leicester is a super-diverse city with a large Indian population and this kind of link-up gives us opportunities to investigate health conditions which affect those in India but also those in Leicester,” he said,
“Combining 바카라사이트 world-leading expertise of both institutions means we can find new and novel ways to solve 바카라사이트 biggest challenges in health, both in 바카라사이트 UK and India.”
