Two degrees. One programme.


You enrol once, study once, and graduate with two separate qualifications, a UK Master’s from UWS and an Indian Master’s from Presidency University.

Awarded by

University of the West of Scotland

A UK degree, awarded under UWS’s degree-awarding powers. Identical in title and standing to the award made in Scotland.

Awarded by

Presidency University, Bengaluru

An Indian Master’s from a UGC-recognised, NAAC-accredited university, taught on its Bengaluru campus.

Recognition matters, so we state it plainly. The UWS degree certificate carries no reference to the country of study. It is the same award made to graduates in Paisley, and it can be used to apply for doctoral study or employment overseas.

Why Bengaluru

Study where the work is

Bengaluru holds the largest concentration of technology employers, global capability centres and funded startups in India. You will not be studying at a distance from the market you want to enter, you will be inside it, on a residential campus, for the whole year.

Presidency University’s campus at Rajanukunte offers hostel accommodation, libraries, laboratories and sports facilities, with students from every state in India.
