Founded in 2011, The British College offers world-class education for students in Nepal who are aspiring to gain internationally recognised qualifications from their two partner British Universities, the University of the West of England (UWE) and Leeds Beckett University (LBU).
In this regard, we have been successful in establishing a distinctive identity as the pioneering global college in Nepal and offer reputed UK degrees and courses which are relevant to the current job market, and enhance the employability of each and every student.
Our aim is to provide students with a global learning experience and worldwide opportunities - and we are defined by our local-to-global approach in the provision of our degrees and courses which are staffed by tutors and administrative personnel from the UK and Nepal. In this way the College provides premium education that compels students and staff to be globally minded - a notion which is further encouraged by the student exchange programmes and internships that we offer with multinational companies.
We also believe that supporting and interacting with the local community is an integral part of student life, and we are committed to achieving excellence in our research and upholding the highest standards of integrity.
St. Xavier's College is an educational institution of higher learning established in 1988 and managed by the Nepal Jesuit Society. Jesuits began their educational work in Nepal in 1951 with the opening of St. Xavier's School, Godavari, followed by St. Xavier's School, Jawalakhel and St. Xavier's School, Deonia.
Jesuits have served people of all faiths, all over the world, as educators, scientists, explorers and social reformers since 1540. That centuries-old tradition of service to others is the cornerstone of Jesuit education. Education at Xavier's prepares each student to live and lead in all the endeavors. It fosters critical thinking, positive action, and service to others. It challenges students to go beyond career preparation. It encourages the student to be job creators rather than job seekers, creative designers of the future
