The Mumbai University is going to set up an offshore campus in the US, Vice Chancellor Sanjay Deshmukh said here today.
One of the options before the varsity was to "purchase" an existing university in the US and turn it into MU's offshore campus, he said.
During his recent visit to the country, he held meetings with potential partners for the project, Deshmukh told reporters here.
"A direct presence in the US will help the University to form more associations and tie-ups with the institutes there. We can offer more international courses," he said.
