Sixteen students from Galgotias University have been selected for the prestigious two-week Graduate Summer Programme at Girton College, University of Cambridge, following a Memorandum of Understanding between the two institutions. Galgotias University is fully sponsoring the participation of all selected students, covering all costs to ensure accessibility to this global learning opportunity.
Programme Focus and Curriculum
The summer programme is designed to provide interdisciplinary sessions on Frugal Artificial Intelligence, innovation, entrepreneurship, strategic thinking, and leadership communication within a global business context. According to the university, the curriculum aims to help students understand how emerging technologies like AI can be applied in resource-efficient environments, how ventures are conceived and scaled in rapidly evolving markets, and how leaders communicate effectively across cultures.
Participants will also engage in topics such as organisational behaviour, competitive strategy, business modelling, and executive storytelling. The programme culminates in a capstone venture pitch where students develop solution-oriented ideas to address contemporary global challenges.
University Leadership Perspectives
Dr. Dhruv Galgotia, CEO of Galgotias University, stated, "International academic immersion broadens perspectives and enables students to navigate different cultures, technologies and ways of thinking with confidence. Learning alongside global faculty and peers helps develop the multidisciplinary problem solving mindset needed to lead in an increasingly interconnected world."
Aradhana Galgotia, Chief Operating Officer of Galgotias University and an alumna of Cambridge Judge Business School, said, "My time at Cambridge Judge Business School gave me first-hand exposure to an academic ecosystem that encourages intellectual curiosity, innovation, entrepreneurship, and global thinking. Having experienced the transformative impact of that environment myself, I felt strongly that our students should have the opportunity to learn from and engage with the same ecosystem."
Broader International Engagement
The university reports that this programme is part of a broader strategy to create structured global learning experiences that complement classroom education with international academic exposure. Earlier this year, Galgotias student teams earned international recognition at EDVentures 2026 in Hong Kong, where a student-led startup called Project TACTO received the AWS Championship Award.
The university's iOS Student Developer ecosystem has become one of India's strongest, with over 65 student-developed applications now live on the Apple App Store. In Apple's Swift Student Challenge 2026, 18 Galgotias students were recognised among 350 winners worldwide, while two students from the B.Tech CSE Class of 2027 earned the opportunity to attend WWDC 2026 at Apple Park, Cupertino.
