SVKM's Institute of International Studies

At last count there were over one and half lac Indian students pursuing their studies at international campus across the globe. While we at SVKM have steadfastly nurtured our Indian roots, we have also been keeping our institutions abreast of global trends and developments.

The feverish pace of globalisation has opened up new opportunities of India and Indians. After closely monitoring the international academic scenario and evaluating the synergy with the needs of Indian students, we at SVKM short listed our best options and finally signed on with one of the most highly regarded universities in the UK for our first bouquet of International undergraduate courses.

Kingston University has gained wide reputation as a top rated university for teaching quality and is in the top ten in the UK for graduate employment. At SVKM we have over 30,000 students, I am told that Kingston University has over 18,000 studetns from over 120 nationalities. Like SVKM which has its campus in India's commercial capital, Kingston University is located 25 minutes from the heart of central London in one of its most beautiful and sought after suburbs. From its historic riverside setting on the Thames, Kingston University proivides its students with exposure to some of the world's best names in business and industry. London is undoubtedly one of the most exciting cities in the world to live, study and work. It is also an excellent launch pad for a future career in a job or in family business & back home in India, or in any other part of the world.

Academically, Kingston is a great fit for SVKM, which as you know had 100 toppers last year many of them rank holders at state and university levels. Our SVKM faculty and staff will be in close touch with their counter parts at Kingston. Together I am sure they will provide the students of these first batches with an exhilarating experience: global pedagogy grounded in perspectives that are locally relevant and suited to the comfort level of Indian students.

SVKM and Kingston will I am sure bring new collaborative impetus to the effort of educationists and students in India and in the UK, thus opening an exciting chapter for growth and shared learning in the years ahead.
