In a significant development for higher education in India, the University of York, University of Liverpool, and University of Bristol are all set to establish campuses in the country. Erulearning Solutions Private Limited, a key player in this venture, received legal counsel from CMS IndusLaw. This initiative aligns with India’s National Education Policy, aiming to make British education more accessible to Indian students.
Legal Advisory by CMS IndusLaw
CMS IndusLaw played an instrumental role in advising Erulearning Solutions Private Limited on the joint venture agreements with the three UK universities. The legal advice extended to negotiating lease agreements for the properties earmarked for these campuses.
The CMS IndusLaw team was led by Saurav Kumar, a Partner in the Corporate team, alongside Senior Associate Ayusha Choudhury and Associates Aryan Dhingra, Kaustubh Garg, and Vartika Jain. The Real Estate team included Partner Gautam Kumar Bhargava and Associate Kartik Madaan.
UK Universities Expand to India
The University of York is setting up its campus in Mumbai, where it plans to offer both undergraduate and postgraduate degrees. The University of Bristol is also launching an Enterprise Campus in Mumbai, targeting entrepreneurship and innovation. Meanwhile, the University of Liverpool is establishing its campus in Bengaluru, known for its vibrant tech industry and educational institutions.
This move is part of a broader strategy to bring globally recognized degrees to Indian soil, offering students the chance to earn a British degree without leaving the country.
