It will open the first campus of an overseas university

The open secret (CMM March 1) is scheduled to be announced by Prime Minister Albanese lin Ahmedabad. The campus will be in the “smart business district” Gujarat International Finance Tec-City.

This is a big win indeed for Deakin U, the result of 30 plus years of networking and negotiating, starting long before what was a very hard market for education exporters became accessible, thanks to the Aus-India trade agreement and a bunch of work before.

The university reports it will initially offer masters in cyber security and business with more postgrad degrees to follow in the faculties of Science, Engineering and Built Environment and Business and Law. Course standards are those of DU in Australia and align with regulator TEQSA’s requirements.

The university did not respond yesterday to questions on course costs and academic staffing at the GIFT campus.
