MIDDLESEX University will officially open its new campus in India in October.
The development is based in Noida, east of Delhi, and will provide courses in business, information technology and media with extra programmes planned for 2012.
Middlesex deputy vice-chancellor Terry Butland said: “Our roots are in London, but we are an international university with ambitions to ensure students around the world can study and gain a Middlesex degree.
“As with our campuses in Dubai and Mauritius, we’ll be providing the same high standard of teaching offered in the UK, with amazing opportunities for students to study in different countries if they want to.”
The development in Noida is part of a commitment to providing higher education in India, with other plans including a creative arts centre in southern Delhi.
Mr Butland added: “Of course Noida will be appealing to students from India, but we are already seeing interest in our international campuses from the UK and Europe.
“Spending time in London, then a year in India or Mauritius or even both, could be a very appealing prospect for British students.”
