Goa University is a public state university headquartered in the city of Panaji, in the Indian state of Goa.

The traditions of Goa University date back to the 17th century,[4] with the creation of the first university courses by the Portuguese Empire.[5][6] However, it was only after the annexation of Goa that the process was consolidated, with the University of Mumbai establishing a Centre for Post-Graduate Instruction and Research (CPIR) in Panaji.[7] The CPIR offered affiliation to the first colleges that were instituted in Goa in June 1962.[7] Was established under the Goa University Act of 1984 (Act No. 7 of 1984) and commenced operations on 1 June 1985,[8] replacing CPIR.[7] The university offers graduate and post-graduate studies and research programmes. It is currently (2014–19) accredited by the National Assessment and Accreditation Council in India with a rating of A Grade.[7]

Is one of India's few universities offering western languages such as Portuguese[9] and French.[10] The university's Department of Portuguese and Lusophone Studies is the only such in the entire Indian subcontinent.[9]
