Deakin University to Launch PG Program in Cyber Security, Business Analytics in India Campus

New Delhi: Deakin University has announced that it will begin operations at its offshore campus in GIFT City, India from mid-2024. Initially the institute will offer Masters Program in Cyber Security and Masters in Business Analytics courses.

As per the official press release from Deakin University, the courses at the India campus aims to equip postgraduate students with the skills and knowledge in technology and business which are needed to excel in the rapidly advancing digital economy, not just in India but across the world. “Set to embody the very latest in cutting-edge technology, the proposed campus promises to be a game-changer, revolutionising the way in which universities and industries collaborate to shape the future of work.

It is poised to play a crucial role in fulfilling GIFT City's ambitious goal of producing a stream of job-ready graduates, primed to make their mark in the fast-paced world of technology and business,” it added.

The India campus will be operated on the basis of the standards and requirements equivalent to those at the home campus in Australia. The course curriculum will also be the same as that of the Australia campus and is accredited by the Australian Computer Society.

The campus in Gujarat will have the same academic standard as that of the Australia Campus and will be under the national accreditation body in Australia: Tertiary Education Quality and Standards Agency (TEQSA). Saying that Deakin’s international branch campus is an incredible opportunity to deepen engagement with India, Vice-Chancellor of Deakin University Professor Iain Martin said: “As India's population is predominantly young, with over 50 per cent below the age of 25, investing in world-class education is crucial not only for the country's economic growth and development but also for equipping young individuals with the necessary skills and knowledge to flourish in an ever-evolving global landscape.”
