Victoria University Lays Foundation for First India Campus in Gurugram, Targeting 2026 Opening

The licensed campus will bring VU’s one‑subject block teaching to India to offer Australian degrees locally at lower cost.

Overview

  • Foundation work began on December 4 in Gurugram under India’s National Education Policy, with officials including Australia’s Assistant Minister Julian Hill attending.
  • VU projects a mid‑2026 launch with undergraduate and postgraduate programs in business, information technology, and research.
  • The campus will be India’s first international site to teach entirely through VU’s Block Model, where students take one subject at a time in four‑week blocks.
  • VU reports a 94% pass rate under the Block Model in Australia and cites improved outcomes for first‑generation and disadvantaged students.
  • The site is modeled on Melbourne’s City Tower campus to deliver an Australian learning environment in India and reduce the need for costly overseas study.
