Southampton University in the UK has opened a campus in Gurugram and launched these 6 courses. Find out how to get admission..
Southampton University India Campus: Every year, millions of students from India go abroad for better education and international exposure. Many students believe that the level of education offered at top universities worldwide is not available in India. But this perception is about to change. The prestigious University of Southampton, a top-100 university globally, has launched its campus in Gurugram, India. It has become the first UK university to receive a license from the Indian government under the new National Education Policy (NEP). This means that students can now obtain a foreign degree while staying in their own country.
Which courses will be available?
Initially, Southampton University's India campus is offering a total of 6 courses, including 4 undergraduate (UG) and 2 postgraduate (PG) courses. These courses cover high-demand fields such as Business, Finance, Economics, and Computer Science. The courses currently available are:
– BSc Business Management
– BSc Accounting and Finance
– BSc Computer Science
– BSc Economics
– MSc Finance
– MSc International Management
The range of courses will expand in the coming years
The university's plan is not limited to this. From the second year, courses like BSc Software Engineering, BSc Creative Computing, and MSc Economics will be added. In the third year, LLB Law and B.Engineering (Mechanical Engineering) will also be introduced. In this way, the university will expand its academic scope by adding new courses every year.
What is the admission process?
If you have completed your 12th grade from the CBSE board, a minimum of 75% marks is required for admission. For students from other boards, the university has set different parameters. Southampton University may conduct an entrance test if needed, or it may grant direct admission based on 12th-grade marks. The good news is that students will be clearly informed in advance about the admission process to avoid any confusion.
Why is this opportunity special? This is a great opportunity for students who dream of studying abroad. Now, there's no need for hefty foreign expenses or the compulsion to leave home; you can obtain an international degree and global exposure while staying in India.
