University of Manchester plans India centre in Bengaluru to help Indian students find jobs back home

The University of Manchester will soon open its new centre for the first time in India, in Bengaluru. The centre is expected to facilitate opportunities for students to study at its campus in the U.K. and also help Indian students studying there to seek job opportunities and internships, said Duncan Ivison, Vice-Chancellor, University of Manchester.

Speaking to The Hindu on Friday, Prof. Ivison, who was in the city, said, “The proposed centre will facilitate the academic journey of aspiring Indian students to study at the University of Manchester. Our aim is to also help those who are currently pursuing higher education at our university find jobs and internships back in India. This centre will help create those connections with industry partners, various educational institutions and government agencies.”

He added, “We also aim to connect students aspiring to become entrepreneurs with people who can fund their startups.”
