This dual certification significantly amplifies the value of the qualification: the UWS degree opens doors to global careers and international postgraduate study, while the Presidency University PG Certificate signals credibility and institutional recognition within India’s domestic professional and academic landscape. Together, they offer graduates a credential that speaks with authority in two worlds simultaneously — a genuinely rare advantage in an increasingly competitive market for talent.
How the year runs
The full UWS curriculum on the Bengaluru campus, holding the same academic standing as programmes delivered on UWS campuses in Scotland and London. You also take an internship and a live industry project, which is what gives you something to talk about at interview.
Not a sightseeing tour. You study on campus in Scotland, work alongside the cohort based there, and use the labs and library. No student visa is involved, because it is a short study visit.
Your UWS-awarded degree is the same parchment issued in Scotland. Nothing on it marks the programme as taught abroad. Alongside it, Presidency University confers a Post-Graduate Certificate, making each programme a dual certification programme.
Questions we get asked
No. It is the same award, with the same wording, issued by the same university. There is no annotation about the teaching location.
No. One programme, one fee, both awards. Your fee is confirmed in writing when we make your offer.
Your degree does not depend on the two weeks abroad. The award is earned on the Bengaluru programme, so a refused visit visa does not put your qualification at risk.
The UWS award is a UK Master’s and is recognised as one. The Presidency University award is conferred locally.
