Upendra Raj Sharma

Chairman
The student experience at

TBC comes with wonderful
memories of good times
and challenges you had to
face
Our Students are our True Ambassadors!
Setting up an institution that values global exposure
and quality education was a huge challenge for us in the
beginning. Yet, here we stand today! It gives me great
pleasure to welcome students from different parts of
Nepal and Asia. I travelled to the UK, from Nepal, for a
quality British education as it was not available in Nepal
at that time. British education has truly changed my life.
British education is all about giving you the inspiration
to help you develop your own skills, the freedom to be
creative, and the support you need to achieve your
best. I am proud to bring such education to Nepal at
a fraction of the UK cost. The College atmosphere is
very friendly and supportive. We regard each student
as an individual and we put student welfare as our first
priority.
A warm welcome to all of you! I look forward to this
academic year where once again we will strive for
excellence in academia.

institutions in order to provide our students with the best programmes and
internship opportunities.
Since 2014, TBC and the Microsoft Innovation Centre (MIC) have worked closely,
organizing training workshops, seminars and awarding certificates for student
participation in these programmes. The partnership promotes innovation, technical
entrepreneurship and gives our students access to the latest Microsoft Software.
A more recent collaboration with CISCO, the worldwide leader in networking, has
led to the launch of The British College Networking Skills Training Academy. The
academy aims to teach students about the importance of online platforms for
connecting, communicating, and collaborating. Courses are delivered in partnership
with CISCO Networking Academy, a global education program that helps students
prepare for ICT careers in areas such as network security and administration,
technical support, and healthcare IT. The online course materials used at TBC were
developed by CISCO and a team of global educators and offer features such as
network simulation exercises, labs, and assessments.
TBC has been a member of the Oracle Academy. As a result, students have access
to Oracle software including Oracle Database and Java Development Environments
and can participate in Oracle focus groups. Students are awarded 50% discount on
Oracle University training and 25% discounted Oracle Certification Exam Vouchers.
Moreover, our students have access to a wide variety of resources that will help
them to expand their knowledge, develop their skills and become a technology

to travel and explore the host cities, and visit other UK
cities during their stay.

CSR - Corporate Social Responsibility

The British College staff and students take pride in helping our
community through many CSR activities. We are dedicated to
the provision of aid and support to those less fortunate than
ourselves, and we try to innovate new ways to do such.
Our Earthquake Relief Programme ensured that those affected
by the recent events had access to food, shelter and essential
medical resources. Coordinated by CEO Rajen Kandel, students
and staff delivered supplies and, alongside the AMF and army,
aided in clearing rubble in both Nuwakot and Sindupalchowk.
Our most recent initiative Blanket for Humanity led by a group
of students, raised sufficient funds to distribute sixty blankets
to vulnerable, elderly people in Ryale. The students were proactive in fundraising for the blankets, standing in Durbar Square
and Basantapur on numerous occasions, as well as collecting
donations from fellow students. They felt blessed to personally
deliver the blankets following their hard-work.
