Program Overview
Bachelor in Environmental Studies belongs to the environmental study area associated with Kathmandu University School of Science.
The wider environmental academic setting at KUSOS is represented through Environmental Science and Engineering. The environmental unit has been involved in undergraduate environmental education since 1994 and also supports graduate and research-level study.
Its broader academic work covers areas connected with environmental research and development, impact assessment, standards monitoring, management, conservation, environmental legal measures, policy formulation, implementation, and related environmental fields. Research activities also address issues of local, national, regional, and global significance.
These areas describe the broader environmental academic environment at KUSOS rather than a fixed BES curriculum.
Academic Framework
University: Kathmandu University
Admission, entrance procedures, curriculum, eligibility, examinations, and degree award for the course operate according to the applicable rules and regulations of Kathmandu University.
Program-specific academic requirements should therefore be treated separately from the eligibility or course structures of other KUSOS bachelor's programs.
BES and B.Sc. in Environmental Science
Bachelor in Environmental Studies and B.Sc. in Environmental Science are separate program titles associated with the environmental study portfolio and should not be treated as interchangeable degrees. Both titles are identified separately in the KUSOS course context.
The current departmental academic structure identifies Bachelor of Environmental Science as the bachelor's program under the Environmental Science academic unit.
This distinction is important when comparing curriculum, entrance requirements, duration, and degree requirements because information attached to B.Sc. in Environmental Science should not automatically be applied to Bachelor in Environmental Studies.
Environmental Academic Environment
Kathmandu University School of Science identifies Environmental Science and Engineering among its principal academic areas. The wider school structure also includes academic functions related to student welfare and admission, research and innovation, internship and placement, information technology and library services, and examinations.
Research centers within the wider School of Science environment include the Aquatic Ecology Centre and the Himalayan Cryosphere, Climate and Disaster Research Center.
These facilities and structures form part of the institutional environment surrounding environmental study at KUSOS.
