Finally, Avantika Nepal (BSc IT Level 6) will travel to Friedrich Schiller University, where she will take part in the Artificial Intelligence & Computer Science programme. When talking about the opportunity she said, “Thanks to this opportunity with IAESTE and TBC, I was able to secure the DAAD (German Government Scholarship) [and] had the incredible chance to meet the German Ambassador to Nepal. This was a humbling experience that reminded me of the importance of building international relationships.” I am proud to be associated with the best IT college in Nepal.

To celebrate this incredible achievement, The British College held a facilitation event for the successful candidates on Sunday. Talking at the event, the Head of Marketing, Amardeep Mandal said, “This is an incredible initiative and just the start of the international opportunities at the College, with many more coming up - including three students who have recently been selected for placements in Dubai. We wish them all the best of luck.”
