Scholarship marks the launch of the University of Wollongong in India at the GIFT city in Gujarat

The University of Wollongong India (UOW India), one of the first high ranking Australian universities to establish a teaching base in India, announced “The Inaugural Scholarship” for its upcoming November student intake.

The exclusive scholarship offers significant financial benefits to students applying for Computing and Fintech programs. By paying the deposit by 4 October 2024, students will receive 50 per cent off tuition fees for Masters degrees and 25per cent off for Graduate Certificate programs for the 1st Trimester starting November 2024.

The scholarship offers sizable benefits and is designed to support students as they begin their studies at UOW India with substantial savings. The scholarship, which is available only for a limited time, is available to students applying for Computing and Fintech programs to make their journey towards higher education more accessible and rewarding. 

The month of November 2024 will see UOW India launch a range of graduate and postgraduate programs, including a Master of Computing (Data Analytics), a Graduate Certificate in Computing, a Master of Financial Technology, an extended Master of Financial Technology, and a Graduate Certificate in Financial Technology.

Programs offered at UOW India are meticulously designed to align with the demands of the evolving global job market and equip students with the skills and expertise necessary for success in a rapidly changing world. Students will need an undergraduate degree or relevant work experience, and a satisfactory English language assessment to apply.

UOW ranks among the top 6 per cent of business schools worldwide, as recognised by the Association to Advance Collegiate Schools of Business (AACSB).  Its launch in India will make UOW among the first Australian universities to establish a teaching base in the country.

Located in GIFT City India, one of India's most vibrant and rapidly growing technological and financial hubs, UOW India provides a perfect hotspot to showcase its world-class education, cutting-edge research, and robust industry engagement as evident through the world class campus facilities and teaching technologies.

UOW India Campus Director Nimay Kalyani said the goal of the scholarship is to make high-quality education accessible to students.

"Our vision at UOW India is to make top-tier international education accessible to all and the Inaugural Scholarship aligns perfectly with our vision,” Mr Kalyani said.

"Fintech is no longer the future, it is the present. Blockchain systems, cryptocurrency, insurtech, peer-to-peer payments - these are integral to our daily lives.

"Building a skilled workforce in these areas is vital for driving growth in a country’s economy and this is driving the introduction of the Computing and Fintech courses in our new international campus in India."

Applications for the November 2024 intake are now open, and interested students are encouraged to apply early to take advantage of this unique scholarship opportunity.
