It is great to see Coventry University coming to GIFT City, an important global financial centre. The UK-India education partnership adds immense value to both our countries and is crucial to building modern, forward-looking connections between our people.
I’m delighted that even more Indian students will be able to access Coventry University’s resources closer to home and hope it encourages deeper academic collaboration between the talented minds in India and the UK.
