As the rate of literacy increases in the country -- touching a figure of almost 75 per cent, there is a growing demand for students wanting to go overseas to pursue higher studies. Not surprisingly, the first choice is inevitably to go to the United Kingdom primarily because of India’s historical ties with the UK.
The University of East London is concentrating its efforts on helping Indian students wanting to study in the UK with the launch of the Indian office in Delhi to be announced on 7 November 2013 at the Le Meridian Hotel. The University has been attracting a large number of students from this region.
The Delhi office will have a dedicated team in India to assist students through the admission process and prepare students for study in London.
There will also be an Indian National Scholarship which will be available to all students who apply from India for postgraduate courses starting in February 2014. UEL has also announced plans to create a Sahara International India Centre which will be opened on the Docklands Campus in East London, in 2015.
Through the centre, students, local communities and UK businesses will get an unrivalled opportunity to tap into one of the world’s fastest growing and most buoyant economies by working with elite companies and business leaders.
While students will be able to enrol on courses in Indian fashion and media, the centre will also play host to a rich programme of cultural activities throughout the year to complement and celebrate South Asia’s remarkable and telling contribution to the UK, as well as the outstanding success of the Indian diaspora in the UK.
Students from India can apply for a wide range of programmes at UEL including: BEng Civil Engineering, BEng Electrical and Electronic Engineering and MBA’s in MSc Computer Networks MSc in Pharmaceutical Science, MSc Biomedical Science, MSc Structural Engineering and MA Fashion.
UEL are also launching two exciting new programmes in the coming academic year — an International Foundation Programme and a Pre-masters course. They are designed to provide opportunities to study at undergraduate and postgraduate level for students who just fall short of our normal entry requirements. They provide an in depth grounding in the skills needed to succeed in a British degree programme.
