University of Southampton India Campus — Programmes, Fees & Admission 2026

The University of Southampton’s India campus in Gurugram — operated under the UGC (Setting Up and Operation of Campuses of Foreign Higher Educational Institutions in India) Regulations, 2023 — is one of the most established international branch campuses in India. Southampton consistently ranks in the QS World University Rankings top 100, giving Indian students access to a globally recognised degree without relocating abroad.

Why choose Southampton’s Gurugram campus?

Southampton’s India campus delivers the same curriculum as the UK home campus, assessed by the same faculty and external examiners. Degrees are awarded by the University of Southampton — not by an Indian university — making them directly comparable to degrees earned in Southampton, UK.

The cost difference is significant. Tuition at the Gurugram campus runs approximately 25–30% lower than equivalent fees at the Southampton home campus. When you add the removal of international student living costs (accommodation, travel, UK health surcharge), the total cost saving for a postgraduate student reaches 60–65% versus studying in the UK.
