The University of Liverpool’s India campus — operated through the Liverpool International Business Institute (LIBI) in Bengaluru — is one of the first UK Russell Group universities to establish a full branch campus in India under the UGC FHEI Regulations 2023. Liverpool is ranked #164 globally (QS 2026) and is particularly well regarded for business, management, and computer science programmes.
Bengaluru’s status as India’s technology and startup capital makes it a natural fit for programmes targeting careers in management, data science, and computer science — sectors where the city has a strong talent demand.

MBA — 12-month accelerated format
Liverpool’s one-year MBA is designed for ambitious professionals who want a globally recognised management qualification without the two-year time commitment common in Indian institutions. The curriculum mirrors Liverpool’s UK MBA and includes a live consultancy project with a Bengaluru-based organisation in the final term.
Entry requirements: Bachelor’s degree (any discipline), CGPA 6.0+/10, minimum 1 year of work experience, IELTS 6.5+ (or English-medium undergraduate degree).
Cost saving: Liverpool UK MBA costs approximately £22,000–£26,000 (≈ ₹23–28 lakh) per year for international students. The Bengaluru campus MBA runs at ₹16.5 lakh per year — roughly 35% lower on tuition, and 60–65% lower on total cost.
Bengaluru advantage
Bengaluru offers LIBI students tangible advantages beyond the academic programme:
- Industry access: proximity to the headquarters of Infosys, Wipro, Flipkart, and hundreds of global MNC tech centres creates internship and pre-placement opportunity
- Startup ecosystem: NASSCOM 10,000 Startups hub and 100+ active incubators provide live project partnerships
- Lower cost of living than Mumbai or Delhi NCR
UGC recognition
Liverpool LIBI operates under UGC regulations. Graduates hold a University of Liverpool degree, recognised for UPSC, IBPS, SBI, GATE-based PSU recruitment, and IIT/IISc PhD eligibility — the same as any UGC-regulated IBC.
Intake dates
LIBI Bengaluru runs September and January intakes annually.
