The first three universities in India, the University of Calcutta, the University of Madras and the University of Mumbai, were all based on the University of London governance model. There are now more than 700 students studying with the University of London in India. ‘I would recommend the University of London International Programmes as one can get a world standard, quality education in India, at a much lower cost than moving overseas, but with an equivalent global exposure.’ Standards you can rely on Pankhuri Bansal, BSc (Hons) Economics and Finance (2013) You can be confident in the standard of your degree. The standard of assessment is consistent wherever you study, whether on campus at a University of London College, or anywhere in the world.
