University of Aberdeen, Mumbai Campus Begins Admission Process, Check Courses
University of Aberdeen, Mumbai Campus Begins Admission Process, Check Courses
The University of Aberdeen has commenced the admission process for its Mumbai campus for the first intake in September 2026. At the undergraduate level, Aberdeen will offer courses under the Scottish four-year degree structure, providing students with two foundational years followed by specialisation at the end of the second year.
Initial undergraduate programmes include BSc Data Science (Hons), BSc Computing Science (Hons), MA Economics (Hons), and MA Business Management (Hons). All programmes will adhere to the University's UK academic standards, with graduates receiving a UK-accredited degree awarded by the University of Aberdeen.
The University will also introduce a one-year MSc in Artificial Intelligence and an one-year MBA. The one-year MBA is designed for professionals with a minimum of two years' work experience, offering an accelerated pathway to leadership development. One-year MBA programmes are relatively rare in India, especially as working professionals increasingly seek shorter, career-aligned postgraduate pathways.
Professor Peter Edwards, Principal and Vice-Chancellor of the University, made the announcement during his visit to Mumbai, where he officially inaugurated the campus site in Powai, marking a significant milestone towards the official opening before August 2026.
To support its launch in India, Professor Edwards introduced the Aberdeen Pioneer Scholarship, designed to help talented students access academic excellence. This scholarship programme offers a Rs 2 lakh tuition fee waiver to all eligible undergraduate and postgraduate students who apply by January 31, 2026 and are accepted to enrol in September 2026. The scholarship amount will be deducted directly from the tuition fees and indicated in the acceptance letter from the University.
Professor Peter Edwards, Principal & Vice-Chancellor, University of Aberdeen, said, “For more than five centuries, the University of Aberdeen has stood for academic excellence, purpose-driven learning, and global engagement. Our entry into India reflects our commitment to delivering world-class, future-focused education to one of the world's most dynamic talent ecosystems. The MoU with the City and Industrial Development Corporation (CIDCO) marks an important milestone towards the establishment of the University's future campus at the proposed Educity, and further strengthening our long-term partnership with India. As we prepare to welcome our first cohort, we look forward to building a globally connected academic community and working closely with stakeholders to foster meaningful collaborations that support India's education and innovation ambitions."
