The University of Surrey and Manipal Institute of Technology (MIT Manipal), a part of the Manipal Academy of Higher Education, have launched a dual-degree programme to help close the global skills gap in semiconductor technologies. The new programme will prepare students for roles in industries such as artificial intelligence, machine learning, clean energy, transport and defence.
The programme was launched at the 2025 UK–India Advanced Semiconductors for Sustainable Technologies conference, held at Surrey’s Guildford campus. It allows students to start their studies at MIT Manipal and complete a master’s at Surrey. Students will gain hands-on experience in manufacturing processes, advanced materials, sustainable technologies and power electronics. On graduation, they will receive two qualifications – an M.Tech from MIT Manipal and an MSc from Surrey – preparing them for roles in fast-growing industries.
By partnering with Manipal Institute of Technology – one of India’s top-ranked engineering institutions, known for its close industry links and strong technical curriculum – this collaboration brings together the strengths of two institutions focused on global education, innovation and workforce development.
