Durham University announces tie ups with Amrita University, IITs for Research
To undertake joint research & workshops, faculty exchange, teachers’ training & certificate courses through the partnership
Durham University, UK has long-standing ties with India that span research collaborations, institutional and faculty partnerships and scholarship. Durham University offers a range of international scholarships including a £5,000 per year tuition fee discount for Indian students who are looking to start their undergraduate or taught postgraduate studies.
Reflecting on the research successes with Indian partners, Professor Charlotte Clarke, Executive Dean of Social Sciences and Health at Durham University, said: “What has been achieved so far through researchers from Durham and across India working together has been truly remarkable. Building on the early success of our new Office, our presence and relationship with India will only grow from strength to strength. We have a thriving community of Indian students and graduates and we look forward to welcoming more Indian students to our globally outstanding University.”
Durham has developed long-term partnerships with top Indian institutions including Amrita University and Indian Institute of Technology to address some of the major challenges facing the world today through innovative and pioneering research.
Durham’s partnership with Amrita University supports key foundation industries in India and the UK to decarbonise by using the latest thermal energy innovations. Durham University has also been a part of the UK-India collaboration with Indian Institute of Technology into understanding how the water cycle in India is changing and the impact it could have.

Durham Law School enjoys close links with India, including recently the founding of a Centre for Indian Law and Policy – the first such academic research centre focusing on India’s legal system to be established in the UK, and only the second outside of India.
