Education Centre of Australia (ECA) has announced the launch of UniQuad: bringing world-class Australian and UK universities to India within a new model.
Established in 2006, ECA is a multi-sector private education provider with expertise in partnering with universities to run managed campuses and embedded international colleges. A new division of the ECA’s operations, UniQuad marks a new approach to international education, seizing opportunity on the back of the Indian government’s decision to allow foreign universities to establish campuses in the country. Each ‘UniQuad’ will include 3 universities built around a central quad with a comprehensive range of support services and facilities for students.
Rupesh Singh, the ECA CEO says, “ECA are thrilled to introduce their top globally ranked Australian and UK university partners to India’s vibrant education landscape.”
“Our UniQuad initiatives will provide Indian students with access to internationally recognised courses, qualifications, and career pathways, bridging the gap between quality education and global job opportunities.”
In collaboration with Australian and UK universities, UniQuad, is an evolution of ECA’s managed campus model that aims to establish state-of-the-art, sustainable education hubs across India. Through a strategic partnership with a major Singapore-based private equity group specialised in infrastructure investments, ECA is focused on creating purpose-built campuses that will bring renowned international universities to India, enhancing access to high-quality education in a sustainable environment.
Key characteristics of the UniQuad :
- International Campuses: Top 500 globally ranked Australian University/UK/Consortium universities will establish campuses in Bangalore, Delhi and Ahmedabad, India, offering a range of undergraduate and postgraduate programs.
- Globally Recognised Qualifications: Students will receive degrees from Australian or UK universities, recognised worldwide for their academic excellence.
- Industry-Aligned Curriculum: Programs tailored to meet industry demands, ensuring graduates are job-ready for a global workforce.
- Research Collaborations: Opportunities for joint research projects, fostering innovation and knowledge exchange between Australia and India.
- Scholarships and Support: Scholarships, internships, and career services to support Indian students.
