It operates under the regulatory oversight of the International Financial Services Centres Authority (IFSCA).
Coventry University is known for its applied, industry-oriented teaching approach. The GIFT City campus extends this model to India, offering master’s level programmes aligned with sectors active in the GIFT City SEZ: engineering, business, technology, and management.
