Universal AI University Partners with Cambridge to Offer Fast-Track Undergraduate Degrees for Advanced-Level Students
Universal AI University (UAi), India's first institution focusing on Artificial Intelligence and emerging technologies, is now the only university in the country to partner with the International Education group at Cambridge University Press & Assessment to fast-track undergraduate degree completion for students with Cambridge A and AS Level qualifications. Under this collaboration, eligible students can receive up to 30% academic credit, allowing them to complete their undergraduate programs six months earlier than the standard duration. This initiative reflects UAi's strong commitment to global academic standards, innovation, and expanding access to future-ready education.
Universal AI University has rapidly become the center of choice for future-oriented learning. Spread over a completely residential 40-acre green campus at Karjat, near Mumbai, UAi currently accommodates more than 980 students in its schools of AI & Future Technologies, Design, Music, Sound & Cinematics, Management, and Social Sciences & Liberal Arts. It is also the first Indian university to have hired an American Vice Chancellor from MIT, USA, which confirms its global vision.
Talking about the collaboration and its applicability to Indian higher education, Tarun Anand, Universal AI University Founder and Chancellor, said, 'At Universal AI University, we believe in developing talent that's ready to drive a future of transformation. Cambridge students are known for their academic seriousness, international outlook, and willingness to adopt the strengths that align with our mission and values. We are delighted to provide them a space within our ecosystem through this pioneering initiative in India. In offering a faster path, we not only acknowledge their intellectual achievement but also move boldly towards aligning Indian higher education with global best practices, creating new avenues for active learners to shine and serve as leaders.'
Emphasizing collaboration and how it influences learner journeys, Vinay Sharma, Cambridge's Senior Vice President of International Education, said, "This collaboration is an important milestone towards academic advancement for Cambridge students in India. By granting credit for Cambridge Advanced qualifications, Universal AI University is enabling students to move on from their current achievements into forward-looking degree courses. It reflects the university's proactive attitude and commitment towards providing globally aligned, high-impact education in India's changing academic environment."
This collaboration underscores UAi's deep commitment to the Recognition of Prior Learning (RPL) and to creating meaningful academic pathways that combine global credit recognition, AI-driven learning, and sustainability, all while enabling students to stay in India and earn internationally relevant degrees.
UAi Postgraduate Class of 2024 has also received remarkable placement figures, with the top international offer reaching INR 31.32 lakhs per annum and the highest domestic offer of INR 24 lakhs per annum, a reflection of its industry-aligned curriculum and strong global connections.
