Great news for Indian students seeking a highly valued international Master's Degree from Australia!
Australia’s Deakin University has officially welcomed its inaugural cohort to the newly established campus in Gujarat International Finance Tec-City (GIFT City). This gives aspiring Indian students a unique opportunity to earn a prestigious degree from one of the top universities in Australia without leaving the country. This is also the first time a foreign university has established a physical campus in India.
At present, two Master’s Degrees are available at this campus, one in Cyber Security (Professional) and the other in Business Analytics. Both programs are accredited by the Australian Computer Society (ACS). This ensures that the graduates become qualified members of the IT profession upon completion.
Sharing his enthusiasm on this historic occasion, Professor Iain Martin, Vice-Chancellor of Deakin University, stated "Today, we are delivering on our promise to India as we see our GIFT City Campus come to life with students."
He further added, "Deakin's approach has always been 'in India, with India, for India'. Without a doubt, this is our most significant and proudest moment in the Deakin-India story to date and a historic milestone in the 30-year relationship we celebrate this semester."
Deakin University, GIFT City Campus gives students world-class education. Ranked among the top 1% of universities worldwide, Deakin boasts a stellar research record. Students at Gujarat campus can also contribute to impactful research projects under the guidance of expert faculty other than pursuing the master’s degrees in Cyber Security (Professional) and Business Analytics.
Studying at the Indian campus offers a compelling alternative to the high costs of Australian education. With the current total program fees at INR 21.4 lakhs, the Master's degrees from this India campus offer value of Australian qualification without the need for relocation. Additionally, prospective students can take advantage of application fee waiver when applying for their desired course.
The GIFT City campus not only offers cost-effective education but also fully funded scholarships to students with exceptional academic backgrounds. Two students have already received the benefits of the Deakin University and GIFT City Scholarship program, with their tuition and living expenses fully covered.
Bhavika Khotani, a scholarship recipient pursuing Master's in Business Analytics, expressed her sincere gratitude saying, “It allows me to concentrate fully on my studies without the stress of financial constraints. I am confident that Deakin will provide me with the knowledge and networking opportunities essential for my future professional success."
The GIFT City campus boasts world-class facilities mirroring Deakin's Australian campuses. Students benefit from advanced learning spaces, an extensive library, and comprehensive support services. Cyber Security students have the added advantage of a dedicated cybersecurity lab for research and development.
