·       Undergraduate programmes:
BSc Business Management
BSc Accounting & Finance
BSc Computer Science
BSc Economics  

·       Postgraduate programmes:

University of Southampton student Veydant Dixit is currently studying for a BSc degree in Marketing. 

The 20-year-old, from Delhi, said: “I chose the University of Southampton for its strong emphasis on hands-on learning and real-world experience, which has enriched my journey here immensely. 

“The supportive faculty, the diverse student community, the enormous opportunities available and the vibrant campus life make every day an exciting experience.” 

 

Third year undergraduate Stavan Pareek came from Rajasthan to study a BSc in Environmental Science. 

He said he chose the University of Southampton because of its strong commitment to tackling global environmental challenges.

Stavan added: “Being here offered me not only exceptional academic resources but also an inclusive and vibrant community where I’ve found friends, mentors, and countless opportunities for personal growth.” 

 

Professor Andrew Atherton, Vice-President International and Engagement, said: “We are thrilled to be opening our inaugural application round for what will become our very first intake of students at our University of Southampton Delhi campus. 

“We have already had interest from many high calibre students and are looking forward to welcoming them to our new, state-of-the-art campus in Gurugram, Delhi.”    

The University of Southampton has become the first international university to be granted a licence by the Indian government to establish a comprehensive campus in the country under the new National Education Policy (NEP). This noteworthy accomplishment highlights the University’s commitment to expand its global reach and foster international academic collaborations. 

The University of Southampton is partnering with Oxford International Education Group (OIEG) to deliver the new campus, including enquiry admissions and enrolment services. 

The new campus will feature outstanding facilities and offer an exceptional student experience. 

The first application round will close on November 29, with students expected to find out if they have been successful by mid-January 2025. Two further admissions rounds are then expected to take place for 2025 entry. 

Places are limited and admissions may close earlier based on demand. The application fee of 5000 INR is waived for the first application round.
