MU partners with Australian National University for global engineering programme

Mahindra University and Australian National University have signed an agreement allowing Indian engineering students to study two years in Hyderabad and two years in Australia. The programme covers seven engineering fields and offers an internationally recognised degree.

Hyderabad: Mahindra University (MU) and Australian National University (ANU) established an agreement creating an international pathway for Indian undergraduate engineering students.

Under the agreement, students can complete the first two years of their undergraduate study at Mahindra University in Hyderabad before transferring to ANU in Canberra for their final two years, graduating with an internationally recognised degree from Australia’s leading university.

The partnership covers seven high-demand engineering disciplines, including artificial intelligence, computer science and engineering, mechatronics, electronics and communication, electronics and computer engineering, mechanical engineering, and nanotechnology.

Under the partnership, the progress of students will be monitored annually, with an initial intake capped at 20 students per year, to ensure academic rigour and student outcomes. The agreement also lays the foundation for broader academic engagement, including faculty interaction, curriculum alignment and future research collaboration.

Mahindra University Vice Chancellor Yajulu Medury said the collaboration provides a high-quality international pathway for the MU students while further strengthening academic and research engagement.

ANU associate director (international) Prof Siva Karuturi said the partnership facilitates opportunities for high-achieving students to transition into various ANU engineering majors built on a multidisciplinary ‘systems engineering’ approach.
