Overview
- The University of Bristol opened the Mumbai Enterprise Campus on Friday, September 11, 2026, and welcomed its inaugural student cohort who began a three‑week Bristol Global Futures Lab pre‑semester programme.
- The campus is based at Cignus Powai opposite IIT Bombay and the university says a formal partnership with IIT Bombay will support translational research and joint teaching tied to India’s National Education Policy.
- Four students were named recipients of the University of Bristol–Government of Maharashtra Scholarship, and scholarship recipient Neha Kushe said the award let her change fields and pursue a master’s in finance and investment.
- Undergraduate students at the Mumbai campus will be eligible for the university’s Global Mobility routes, which allow selected students to study part of their programmes at Bristol’s UK campus and gain international exposure.
- The launch follows the university’s recent Temple Quarter Enterprise Campus opening in Bristol and comes as Bristol approaches its 150th anniversary, reflecting a wider push to link UK and Indian research, industry and higher‑education networks.
