The University of Liverpool will open its India campus in Bengaluru’s Whitefield area by September 2026. The UK-based university will offer six undergraduate and two postgraduate programmes, with fees set at less than half of what students pay in the UK.

Speaking to press, Lucy Everest, Chief Operating Officer at the University of Liverpool, said the campus will commence admissions with around 250 students in its first batch. “They will really be our very special year one cohort that we’ll look after very well,” she said. The campus is located in Alembic City will offer programmes in computer science, business management, accounting and finance, game design, and biomedical sciences.

Students will study the same curriculum delivered in the UK, with international faculty from both India and the UK working together. The degree certificate will be identical to what students receive from the Liverpool campus, giving graduates access to the university’s global alumni network.

The university has begun student outreach, with online applications ongoing at its website. At present, six undergraduate and two postgraduate programmes are being offered. The programme targets pharmaceutical companies based in Bengaluru, while the game design course caters to the city’s gaming industry presence.
