NEW DELHI : The University of Melbourne opened its first centre in Delhi today, on September 17. The Melbourne Global Centre will enable the university to showcase its extensive educational offerings, cutting-edge research, and community engagement programs. The event was attended by a delegation visiting India to enhance partnerships and engagement with students, alumni, and other educational partners, including representatives from the Indian and Australian governments.
The establishment of the Melbourne Global Centre in Delhi represents the university’s “commitment to support India in its long-term academic and research aspirations”.
As a central hub, the global centre will lay the foundations for future generations of scholars and researchers, to make new bilateral connections and also facilitate meaningful educational and cultural exchanges in future.

Melbourne Global Centre
The Melbourne Global Centre will organise cultural performances, art exhibitions, and lecture series. The centre will also serve as a platform to connect research with Indian corporations, industry partners and other academic institutions.
“The establishment of the Melbourne Global Centre in Delhi strengthens the university’s presence and engagement in India while supporting its broader global partnership model in key partner countries throughout Asia and the Pacific,” reads the official notice.
However, the centre is not designed for teaching or as an offshore campus. Instead, it aims to enrich current and future initiatives within India for greater impact as determined by the university’s partnership model and Indian governments and institutions.
Professor Michael Wesley, deputy vice chancellor of the University of Melbourne, said that it was a significant step forward towards a longstanding commitment to foster educational collaboration between India and the university.
He added, “Building on institutional partnerships that span up to 16 years, we are dedicated to empowering and enhancing capacity within India, aligning with our mission to collaboratively benefit society through education and research”.
