The language of instruction for most courses is English. Most of the public colleges in Mumbai, Thane, Raigad, Ratnagiri, and Sindhudurg are affiliated to the University of Mumbai. A majority of private colleges located in these places, which offer professional courses such as engineering, are also affiliated to MU. One of its two campuses in Mumbai is located in Kalina, Santacruz. The campus houses academic and administrative departments. Another campus located in Fort carries out administrative work only. Several world-renowned institutes in Mumbai were affiliated to the university. Most of them are now autonomous institutes or deemed universities.
