The British College (TBC) is located at Trade Tower Business Centre, Thapathali, Kathmandu, Nepal.

The British College was established in 2011 and has been providing UK university education in Nepal for more than a decade.

TBC works with leading UK universities, including the University of the West of England (UWE Bristol) and Leeds Beckett University (LBU).

Your degree is awarded by the university specified for your programme, rather than by TBC itself. For example, TBC's BBA (Hons) Business and Management is awarded by UWE Bristol, while several computing and postgraduate programmes are awarded by Leeds Beckett University.
