Australia’s Victoria University (VU) has established the foundation of its Delhi-NCR campus in Gurugram, Haryana. Once operational, this will be India’s first international campus to fully implement VU’s Block Model, a contemporary learning approach designed to enhance student success and future readiness.
Scheduled to open by mid-2026, the campus will offer undergraduate and postgraduate programmes in business, information technology, and research, reported ANI. Modeled after VU’s City Tower Campus in Melbourne, the new India campus will provide high-quality Australian education to Indian students at an affordable cost, reducing the need for expensive overseas travel and accommodation.
VU is one of the first Australian universities licensed by the Indian Government to establish a comprehensive campus in India under the new National Education Policy (NEP). By providing globally relevant curricula, collaborating with local industries, and nurturing skilled graduates, VU aims to significantly contribute to the country’s educational and economic development. The VU Block Model enables students to concentrate on one subject at a time over four-week blocks in small, workshop-style classes.
The foundation laying ceremony, which included traditional lamp lighting and mango tree planting, was attended by the Federal Assistant Minister for Citizenship, Customs, and Multicultural Affairs, the Hon Julian Hill, VU Chancellor the Hon Steve Bracks, VU Vice-Chancellor Professor Adam Shoemaker, and senior government officials from India and Australia.
The Hon Julian Hill, Federal Assistant Minister for Citizenship, Customs and Multicultural Affairs, said, “Victoria University is a leader in teaching, learning and the student experience, including its unique VU Block Model – and now its new campus in Gurgaon, India will connect Indian students with these innovations.”
Steve Bracks, Chancellor, Victoria University, said, “This campus is about opening doors to opportunity. High overseas study costs and limited access to institutions leave many students in India without global education options – VU’s education and research offerings aim to help change that. Bringing our VU Block Model to India offers students a proven pathway to success – one that is inclusive, industry-connected, and designed for the future.”
