DEAKIN: FIRST TIME A FOREIGN UNIVERSITY GRADUATES A COHORT ON INDIAN SOIL
ON MARCH 23, Deakin University celebrated a milestone in Gujarat: the inaugural graduation ceremony of its GIFT City campus. This event marked the first time a foreign university has established an international branch campus (IBC) in India and successfully graduated a cohort on Indian soil. Attended by the CM of Gujarat, Bhupendrabhai Patel, and Australian High Commissioner Philip Green, the ceremony represented the culmination of a promise to deliver world-class Australian education within India.

However, High Commissioner Green emphasised that, for Australia, "size is not as important as delivering on a promise."
