International Relations, University of Delhi

Globalization, as a defining characteristic of the 21st century, continues to transform institutions, economies, and societies—higher education being no exception. In an age shaped by increased mobility, interconnectivity, and rapid technological progress, universities are no longer confined to national boundaries but are vital contributors to an internationally linked knowledge ecosystem. One of the most significant responses from academic institutions to these global dynamics is the internationalization of their campuses and strategies. This includes cultivating transnational collaborations, participating in international research alliances, promoting student and faculty exchanges, and harmonizing academic programs with global benchmarks.

The University of Delhi acknowledges that fostering robust international ties is crucial for advancing academic distinction, enriching intercultural dialogue, and confronting shared global issues. By establishing purposeful alliances with esteemed institutions around the world, the University actively takes part in collaborative research initiatives, academic exchange programs, and globally-focused educational activities. These joint efforts not only strengthen the University’s teaching and research potential but also equip students with the skills and perspectives needed to thrive in an interconnected world.

The University is committed to strengthening its role as a globally connected institution. Our international engagement reflects its long-standing dedication to intellectual openness, diversity, and inclusive growth.

The Office of International Relations serves as the central facilitator for coordinating international partnerships, supporting incoming and outgoing mobility, and facilitating cross-cultural academic exchange. We invite scholars, students, and institutions from around the world to connect with us as we continue to build bridges across borders and cultivate a truly global academic community.
