In a significant development for transnational education, the University of Liverpool today became the second UK university, after the University of Southampton, to officially receive a Letter of Intent (LoI) to establish a campus in India. The handover ceremony, held at the Taj Mahal Hotel in New Delhi from 10:00 AM to 11:00 AM, was presided over by Hon’ble Union Minister for Education, Shri Dharmendra Pradhan. Dr. Vineet Joshi, Interim Chair of the UGC and Secretary of the Department of Higher Education, Ministry of Education, was also present at the event.
This milestone marks a major step toward strengthening academic collaboration, fostering research partnerships, and enhancing global educational exchange between India and the UK. The upcoming campus in Bengaluru will aim to offer world-class education aligned with both Indian and global standards.
The University of Liverpool was originally established as University College, Liverpool in 1881. It officially began operations in 1882 with just 45 students, 6 chair positions, and 2 lectureships. The first college building, located on Ashton Street, remains central to the campus today. In 1884, the college joined the federal Victoria University, alongside institutions in Manchester and Leeds. Over the subsequent years, numerous buildings were constructed to accommodate large laboratories, funded by donations from local philanthropists. By the 1890s, eight additional chair positions were established, along with numerous lectureships and scholarships.
