About the study place

Manipal Academy of Higher Education is located in the town of Manipal in the state of Karnataka, on the southwest coast of India.

Manipal is a relatively small university town, approximately 65 kilometres north of the coastal city of Mangaluru.

For students, Manipal offers a calm and campus‑focused environment with short distances between accommodation, teaching facilities and everyday services. The surrounding region provides opportunities for outdoor activities and travel, including nearby beaches along the Arabian Sea, hill areas in the Western Ghats and cultural sites in southern India. 

Manipal Academy of Higher Education is a large private university and an Institution of Eminence in India, known for its international orientation and interdisciplinary profile. The university offers programmes across a wide range of fields, including health sciences, engineering, technology, management, social sciences and education.
