Cross-border partnerships on the world's stage.

Cross-border education needs partners you can trust.

India's regulatory framework now allows foreign universities to set up campuses here. The UGC regulations of 2023 on campuses of foreign higher educational institutions link eligibility to global rankings or recognised expertise, with conditions on approvals, programmes, faculty and operations, and GIFT City offers a separate route through IFSCA. Alongside these, UGC's 2022 regulations on academic collaboration allow Indian and foreign institutions to offer twinning, joint degree and dual degree programmes.

For Indian institutions, partnerships bring international curricula, faculty exchange, study-abroad pathways and stronger positioning with applicants. For foreign universities, India is a large and competitive market where brand recognition, local recruitment and regulatory processes all take time to build. In both cases, the hardest part is finding the right partner and structuring the arrangement so that it is approvable, financially sustainable and attractive to the students it is meant to serve.

MSM Unify has worked with international institutions since 2013 and has a network of 1,500+ partner campuses, with active operations in 30+ countries, including partners in the USA, UK, Canada, Australia, Ireland and New Zealand. We use that network to identify partners whose programmes, rankings and ambitions fit yours, support programme design and documentation, and run launch marketing and student recruitment in India once the necessary approvals are in place, so the first intake starts with real demand.
