Parul University has an active 2+2 partnership with Western Sydney University in Agriculture. Students complete two years at Parul University (Vadodara, Indian fees) and transfer to WSU (Sydney) for two years, graduating with qualifications from both institutions. During the delegation visit, Dr Geetika Madan Patel met a Parul University student currently enrolled in this programme at the WSU Parramatta South Campus.
WSU’s delegation included Provost Deborah Sweeney, Distinguished Professor Brian Falzon (Engineering, Computing, Science), deans from Science, Business, and Health, and directors of Transnational Education, Global Initiatives, and Global Entrepreneurship (Launch Pad). The breadth of the WSU team indicates expansion into new disciplines is actively under discussion.

Charles Sturt University: Computer Science Engineering
Three Parul University students are currently studying Computer Science Engineering at Charles Sturt University as part of a well-established two-way student mobility and faculty exchange initiative. Dr Geetika Madan Patel visited the CSU campus during her extended stay for bilateral meetings. The CSU pathway demonstrates that Parul University’s Australian partnerships extend beyond a single discipline, covering Agriculture (WSU) and Computer Science (CSU) with active student enrolments.
Griffith University: Sports Science and Health Precinct
Parul University’s stated interest areas for the delegation included Sports Science and Infrastructure. Griffith University on the Gold Coast has a dedicated Sports engagement programme presented by Dr Caroline Riot (Director, Games Engagement and Partnerships). The delegation visited the Gold Coast Health and Knowledge Precinct, connecting health research, clinical practice, and education. For Parul University, which operates a 750+ bed NABH-accredited hospital and has medical, physiotherapy, and allied health programmes, the alignment creates a natural partnership pathway in Sports Science, Health Sciences, and clinical research.
Bond University: The Private University Model
Bond University is Australia’s first private university. The session covered data analytics, actuarial science, and AI degrees. For Parul University, also a private university that achieved NAAC A++ in its first assessment cycle, Bond’s model of premium education and industry-integrated curricula provides a reference for how private universities in the Asia-Pacific region compete at the highest level.
CBRIN and the Innovation Corridor
The Canberra Innovation Network (CBRIN) hosted a session on Scaling India-Australia Innovation Partnerships. Parul University operates PIERC (230+ startups, Rs 30 Cr+ revenue, 1,100+ jobs, Shark Tank India deals), creating opportunities for joint startup programmes and research commercialisation. The QS India Showcase at UQ was themed From Degree to Deployment: Turning India-Australia Partnerships into Workforce Outcomes, directly addressing the employability pipeline both countries prioritise
