Why University of York Mumbai?
The University of York exists for public good. Since opening our doors to 230 students in 1963, we've grown into one of the UK's leading research universities, ranked Gold for teaching. For over 60 years, our students, staff and researchers have worked across disciplines to tackle real challenges, from public health and climate change to creative arts and global development.
Our campus in Mumbai extends that mission to India. Here, you'll find the same high standards, and the same drive to do something that matters. We combine academic excellence with a genuine commitment to inclusion, sustainability, and making a difference both locally and globally.

Universities rated gold for teaching (Teaching Excellence Framework 2023)
The academic experience was a much more dynamic learning experience, a departure from what I had known. At York, assignments were open-book and required in-depth research and collaboration. It pushed me to think critically and apply my knowledge creatively.

A Campus Designed for Possibility
In the heart of Mumbai, our new campus brings the spirit of York to a city defined by ambition and creativity. It is a space designed not just for study, but for curiosity to grow and ideas to take shape. Here, research-led teaching meets industry energy, creating an environment where you are challenged to think deeper, collaborate boldly and prepare for a world that is constantly evolving.
Gold-standard teaching
York is one of only four UK universities to be rated both Gold for teaching and top ten for research in the latest national assessments, placing us in the same company as Oxford, Cambridge and Imperial.
What does a Gold award actually mean for you? It means your lectures are led by researchers making real discoveries. It means your curriculum is built to stretch your thinking, not just tick boxes. It means you'll graduate with the skills, confidence and global perspective to take on challenges that matter.
Our Four Pillars
A great university is defined not just by its rankings, but by what it stands for. York's four strategic aims have shaped our approach to education, research and community for over six decades.
Now, those same commitments are at the heart of York Mumbai, built to empower the next generation of Indian and global leaders.
Curiosity-driven research. Your lecturers are active researchers who bring fresh thinking, real discoveries and live debates into every classroom.
