India's first international branch campus
Deakin University is the first international university in the world to open a teaching campus in India. Deakin has established its first international branch campus in Gujarat International Finance Tec-City (GIFT City) in accordance with International Financial Services Centres Authority (IFSCA) regulations. GIFT City is a central business precinct in the Gandhinagar district in Gujarat, India. It is India's first operational greenfield smart city and is set to become a global financial and information technology hub. Learning from industry partners, Deakin graduates will be prepared for emerging and in-demand roles in India's growth sectors.
Deakin in India
Deakin has a long and rich relationship with India as the first foreign university to establish operations in India in 1994. Over almost three decades, we have developed strategic partnerships with India’s premier research organisations, businesses and academic institutions. Our proud engagement with India continues to this day.
A sustainable future
Deakin is committed to integrating sustainability through our education, campus operations and research. The University’s sustainability commitments will continue to be reflected in our operations around the world – we're committed to becoming carbon neutral by 2025 through renewable energy.
