York's mayor has launched a scholarship scheme to support students from Mumbai studying at the University of York.

Mayor David Skaith has announced the Mayor's Gateway Scholarship, giving students from Mumbai the opportunity to study in York. The scheme was launched during a regional trade mission to India and is funded by the University of York Mumbai, which opened its first campus outside the UK in September.

The scholarship will initially support two students from Mumbai and includes work experience placements to provide insight into business and industry in York and North Yorkshire. The University of York Mumbai offers undergraduate and postgraduate programmes in creative industries, business, and computer science, including artificial intelligence and cyber security.

Mr Skaith said the trade mission was 'an important step in building relationships and deepening our links in India' and described himself as 'delighted to champion' the scheme, which gives 'students the opportunity to develop their education across two continents and two vibrant cities'. Professor Lindsay Oades, provost of the University of York Mumbai, said scholarships like this help students gain 'the skills, knowledge and confidence to study and work anywhere in the world'.
