The University of London is working to set up a campus in Hyderabad, the Telangana government announced on Tuesday. The development follows a roundtable with the state's delegation at the university's Senate House in London, led by chief minister A Revanth Reddy.
The delegation met representatives from the London School of Economics and the School of Oriental and African Studies, among others, and presented Hyderabad as a destination for global institutions. The government is pitching the city as a top global knowledge hub.
Separately, the delegation met Liverpool City Development and Liverpool Football Club officials. Liverpool is keen on a strategic partnership with Telangana in life sciences, technology, sports and the creative economy. A Liverpool delegation will visit Hyderabad in October to finalise the pact. The state has also held talks with Cambridge University and Imperial College London on collaborations.
Indian Opinion Analysis
Telangana has been aggressively pursuing foreign university campuses since the 2024 state budget set aside land in Hyderabad's Financial District for branch campuses. The University of London, with 17 member institutions including LSE and SOAS, operates as a federation similar to the University of Delhi system. If realised, this would be the first foreign university campus in Telangana, following the 2023 UGC regulations allowing foreign universities to set up campuses in India. The Liverpool partnership signals a broader economic strategy beyond education, linking life sciences and sports to Hyderabad's existing pharmaceutical and IT strengths. The next milestone is the Liverpool delegation's October visit and the Invest Telangana summit in December.
