The University of Western Australia (UWA) India’s Mumbai campus, situated in the major commercial hub of Andheri, represents a milestone in Indian higher education as the first physical campus established in India by an Australian Group of Eight (Go8) university. Approved by the University Grants Commission (UGC) and backed by UWA’s standing among the world’s top 100 universities in the QS World University Rankings, the 70,000-square-foot facility opened in 2026 to bring globally benchmarked Australian higher education directly to India’s financial capital. Strategically positioned just five minutes from the international airport and a one-minute walk from the Marol Naka Metro station, the campus offers seamless connectivity to Mumbai’s corporate districts and major arterial highways. Inside, the infrastructure features modern classrooms, advanced technology laboratories, collaborative innovation hubs, and dedicated student support services—including academic, career, and wellbeing centers—designed to replicate the academic rigor and quality assurance frameworks of UWA’s main campus in Perth.
Academically, UWA’s Mumbai campus is positioned with a strong dual focus on technology and business, offering nine specialized undergraduate and postgraduate programs tailored to global industry demands. At the undergraduate level, students can pursue three-year degrees in Computer Science, Data Science, Cybersecurity, Business Management, Global Business, Enterprise and Innovation, and Economics, alongside a four-year Honours degree in Advanced Computer Science (Artificial Intelligence). At the postgraduate level, the campus offers a Master of Information Technology and an accelerated, full-time Master of Business Administration (MBA). All programs award the exact same UWA qualification granted in Australia, allowing Indian and international students to earn a globally recognized degree locally at a significantly lower total cost than studying abroad, while retaining options for international mobility. Admissions are evaluated holistically based on prior academic performance, such as Class XII board scores for undergraduates and bachelor’s degree marks for postgraduates, alongside English proficiency standards. Furthermore, the Mumbai campus supports student accessibility through seven tiers of scholarships and bursaries—ranging from a 10% Maharashtra domicile bursary to the 100% Premier Academic Award—while integrating industry mentorships, internships, and access to UWA’s global alumni network of over 150,000 graduates to ensure strong career outcomes.
