Lancaster University announced in October 2025 that India's University Grants Commission has granted permission to progress with proposals for a new branch campus in Bengaluru, in Karnataka State. Following the public announcement of a successful application for a Letter of Intent, made during a special ceremony as part of UK Prime Minister Starmer's trade mission to Mumbai with Indian Prime Minister Modi, the University will seek to create study and research opportunities by supporting local partners and fostering shared innovation. Programmes, fees, intake dates and exact location are still being finalised. Initial programmes are likely to focus on business, management and computing with potential for expansion into broader disciplines.
