In India the age of classical industrialization is drawing to an end. The age in which territorial boundaries coincide with cultural and religious boundaries and are superimposed with hard economic frontiers is fading worldwide and India is no exception to it. Such changes that have resulted in the creation of a knowledge economy have to be supported by highly educated and internationally competent labour force. Thus, students should be trained with knowledge and understanding to work in a global environment and should have the opportunity to compete in a border less society.

Today, the number of students going abroad from India has been increasing every year. A large number of students also aspire to go abroad for higher studies for acquiring internationally competitive edge, but many are not able to do so owing to resource limitations. Often, such aspirants have been looking for internationally recognized quality education programmes in India.

G.D. Goenka World Institute set up by G.D.Goenka Group has tied up with Lancaster University, UK to offer international degree and diploma programmes in India. Lancaster University is the top ranked university in the Northwest of England and the joint top ranked university in the whole north of England, according to the 2008 national student survey. Lancaster University management school is consistently among the UK’s top four. LUMS is now the only UK business school ranked in the UK’s top 5 for the combination of MBA, Masters in Management, and Custom Executive Education.

To facilitate providing such international quality education in India, the G.D. Goenka World Institute has been set up with quality infrastructure and internationally acclaimed faculty. Students completing their studies from G.D. Goenka World Institute will receive Lancaster University degrees/diplomas.

I welcome you to the G.D. Goenka World Institute to study for Lancaster University Degree/Diploma programmes and assure you that you will have the best of facilities and quality of teaching to help you fulfil your dreams.
