LPU Enables Over 850 Students to Secure Global Academic Opportunities Across 80+ Countries

New Delhi, July 15, 2025: Lovely Professional University (LPU) has facilitated international academic opportunities for more than 850 students across 80+ countries, underlining its growing role as a key platform for global education in India. The initiative is supported by over ₹10.23 crore in international scholarships and partnerships with more than 530 universities worldwide.

In its continued push toward academic internationalization, LPU has enabled students to participate in diverse programs abroad, including summer schools, research collaborations, student exchange initiatives, and credit transfer programs. These opportunities have been secured at leading institutions in countries such as the United States, United Kingdom, Canada, Australia, France, Spain, Brazil, South Korea, and Poland.

A critical driver of this success is LPU’s extensive global academic network comprising over 530 international universities. These partnerships have helped students access and navigate cross-border education pathways with institutional support.

To ease financial barriers, students were awarded a cumulative ₹10.23 crore in international scholarships. These funds were instrumental in facilitating student mobility and supporting their global academic pursuits.

Dr. Ashok Kumar Mittal, Member of Parliament (Rajya Sabha) and Founder Chancellor of LPU, emphasized that the university’s internationalization strategy stems from a vision of providing meaningful and sustainable global opportunities. “Our goal is to integrate international exposure into mainstream education. Through continuous investment in strategic partnerships and academic mobility, we ensure our students are globally competitive,” he stated.

The university’s Division of International Affairs plays a pivotal role by guiding students through the application process and helping them identify programs that align with their academic and professional aspirations. This support structure bridges a common gap faced by many students seeking to study abroad without adequate mentorship.

LPU’s faculty ecosystem also supports this international momentum. The university hosts over 200 faculty members from 50+ countries and over 1,000 visiting members from the global academic community. This diversity fosters an inclusive, cross-cultural academic environment.

In research, LPU has taken strides in establishing collaborative doctoral programs with universities in countries like the UK, Malaysia, Australia, and Russia. This co-supervision model enhances the depth and global relevance of its research output.

Dr. Aman Mittal, Vice President of LPU, highlighted the flexibility offered by LPU’s credit transfer program, allowing students to begin their studies in India and later continue at prestigious international institutions. “This model is ideal for students facing visa delays or uncertainties, ensuring their academic progression remains uninterrupted,” he noted.

In addition to outbound programs, LPU continues to attract international students. Over 500 students from countries including France, Indonesia, Russia, and the United States have enrolled in academic exchanges and short-term programs, enhancing the university’s position as a two-way hub for international education.

Further solidifying its global presence, LPU has secured €3 million in Erasmus funding. This will bolster joint research, curriculum development, and faculty-student mobility across European partner institutions.

By institutionalizing international exposure, LPU is reshaping the future of Indian higher education, where global engagement becomes a foundational element of academic growth.
