British Degree in Nepal: List of Colleges and Available Courses

Earning a British degree no longer means packing your bags and moving abroad. Thanks to partnerships between UK universities and colleges in Nepal, students can now complete their studies at home while still receiving the same degree awarded in the UK. These programmes are designed and assessed by the partner university, so the qualification holds the same value internationally.

For many students, this option brings a mix of benefits—lower living costs, familiar surroundings, and access to a global curriculum without leaving family and work commitments behind. Others use it as a stepping stone, starting their studies in Nepal and transferring to the UK for their final year.

This guide brings together a verified list of UK-affiliated colleges in Nepal, their partner universities, and the courses they currently offer. The aim is simple: give students and parents clear, factual information to help them decide which path fits their goals.

Why British Degrees in Nepal Are a Practical Choice

Students often choose this route because it offers:

• An international qualification without the expense of living abroad.

• Opportunities to transfer to the UK for part of the course.

• Access to the same curriculum and academic standards as UK students.

• Local learning support while being connected to global education networks.

How These Programmes Work

These degrees are part of what’s called Transnational Education (TNE). In simple terms, the UK university designs the course, trains the teaching team, approves assessments, and awards the final degree. The partner college in Nepal delivers the classes, tutorials, and student support locally.

When you graduate, your certificate comes from a UK university, not the local college—there’s no difference in how it’s recognised internationally.
