The University of Nottingham has expressed interest in collaborating with universities in Telangana, the Telangana Council for Higher Education (TGCHE) said in a statement after hosting a delegation from the institution on Monday.

The university’s Malaysian campus operates as a private university, while its Ningbo campus in China operates through a public-private partnership.

According to visiting representatives, the University of Nottingham is keen to tie up with a cluster of universities in Telangana for academic and research partnerships as well as community-based initiatives. Suggested areas of collaboration include capacity building programs, faculty development, joint research projects, student and faculty exchange, and support for university incubators.

During the interaction, TGCHE chairman V. Balakista Reddy briefed the delegation about the latest reforms in higher education, including curriculum development and strengthened industry-academia linkages. He emphasized the importance of future-ready education and encouraged the team to set up a center focused on sustainable development and also suggested that they consider setting up an off-campus facility in Telangana.
