The Indira Gandhi National Open University (IGNOU) is now spreading its wings not only at national level but also internationally, as a part of its plan to spread across the message of education.

The university is set to start its centre in London from July this year that aims to offer undergraduate and postgraduate programmes. According to the officials, after London, Paris would be the next destination for expansion. It was also reported that the London venture, despite the university's experience in running centres abroad, might not prove to be an easy task as it is expected to face a tough competition from the UK Open University (UKOU).
