The new campus will strengthen India-UK collaboration through research that drives innovation in sustainability, digital transformation, and health sciences.
Bengaluru, November 19, 2025: The University of Liverpool has announced the location of its new Bengaluru campus as Alembic City, one of the city’s most vibrant developments for education, research, and innovation.
Scheduled to open in 2026, the campus will provide a state-of-the-art, 360-degree new learning environment for the University’s first cohort of students in Bengaluru. Smart classrooms will support experiential engagement, case-based teaching, and flipped classroom methods, whilst research and innovation spaces and collaborative learning hubs will foster cross-disciplinary learning and industry interaction. Students will also benefit from specialised laboratories, with access to Bloomberg terminals to ensure hands-on learning.
Through these flexible spaces, which enable multiple modes of learning, the new campus aims to offer a truly holistic student experience. Every element of the campus, from innovation hubs to community zones, has been thoughtfully planned to foster creativity, collaboration, and continuous growth.
The University has also opened student recruitment for the inaugural 2026 cohort. Applicants can choose from an initial academic portfolio spanning Computer Science, Business Management, Accounting and Finance, Biomedical Sciences, and, a first for UK campuses in India, Game Design.
The Bengaluru campus will bring Liverpool’s world-class academic and research excellence to India, offering UK-accredited degree programmes that unite global quality with Indian relevance.
To mark this milestone, Lucy Everest, Chief Operating Officer at the University of Liverpool, visited Mumbai and Bengaluru from November 15 to 19, meeting with educators, school leaders, and prospective students. During her visit, she delivered a keynote address at a School Leaders’ Conference in Mumbai, highlighting how the University’s India campus aligns with India’s National Education Policy (NEP) 2020, a transformative blueprint to expand higher education access to 50% of India’s youth by 2035 and position the country as a global education hub. The University of Liverpool’s expansion exemplifies the vision of the NEP 2020 to create globally connected, locally rooted institutions.
Speaking on her visit, Lucy said: “It has been a pleasure to spend time in Bengaluru and Mumbai this week, meeting educators, alumni, and applicants who are excited about the University of Liverpool arriving in India.
“We are looking forward to welcoming our inaugural cohort of talented students in 2026 and providing them with an exceptional learning experience that strengthens their skills and employability. Alembic City is the perfect place to realise this vision, and our new campus will provide our students with the very best facilities to support their learning journey with us.”
The University will also establish a strong research footprint in India, driving fundamental, applied, and industry-led research that addresses shared challenges between the two nations, including sustainability, innovation, digital transformation, and health sciences.
In addition to its academic and research strengths, the Bengaluru campus stands apart for its architectural and design-led innovations that elevate the student experience. An integrated experience zone serves as a dynamic, porous hub where academia, industry, and the local community converge. Purpose-designed modular learning environments allow rapid transformation from group activities to seminar-style teaching, ensuring optimal spatial flexibility. The campus also features an embedded co-working hub for faculty, entrepreneurs, and student teams, enabling immediate and frictionless exchange of knowledge between the university and industry.
Admissions for the 2026 academic year are now open. More information on programmes, eligibility, and the application process is available at: University of Liverpool India Campus | Admissions Open for 2026
