The Hinduja Foundation and King’s College London have launched a new round of scholarships for Indian students pursuing PhD and MSc courses in healthcare technology and MedTech innovation. The initiative aims to strengthen India-UK collaboration in healthcare education, research and innovation by providing Indian scholars access to global expertise and advanced medical technology training.

London: An India-UK education collaboration in the healthcare and innovation sphere launched its latest round of scholarships for Indian students to pursue higher studies at King's College London.

Hinduja Foundation, the philanthropic arm of the Hinduja Group conglomerate, had struck its partnership with one of the UK's leading universities two years ago with a vision to improve healthcare outcomes in both countries.

As part of the tie-up, scholarships are offered to students domiciled in India to pursue full four-year PhD studentships in healthcare technologies at the School of Biomedical Engineering and Imaging Sciences and one-year MSc MedTech Innovation and Entrepreneurship at King’s College London.

"Guided by our philosophy of 'Act Local, Think Global', we believe investing in future-ready talent is essential to building resilient healthcare systems in India that are aligned with global standards, contributing to the vision of a Viksit Bharat," said Ashok Hinduja, Chairman of the Hinduja Foundation.
