Overview
- Telangana government sources say the University of London has begun the national regulator’s application process to open an offshore campus in Hyderabad with a first intake targeted for 2027.
- Reports state the university will start from a temporary office at the Lake View Guest House before moving to a planned permanent site in the Bharat Future City development on the city’s edge.
- These steps require clearances from the University Grants Commission, and the coverage cites state officials rather than a public statement from the university.
- State leaders link the plan to Chief Minister A. Revanth Reddy’s outreach to top global schools and to talks that officials say include about 13 UK institutions with interest in Hyderabad.
- Local reports describe the site as the university’s first full offshore campus, noting the University of London also runs a small institute in Paris under a different model.
