Sofan Western Academy (SWA) is an educational institution in Dhangadi, affiliated with Kathmandu University under the management of Nepal Western Academy. It provides practical learning, expert faculty, and a student-focused environment to prepare future professionals and leaders.
SWA launched a Bachelor of Social Work (BSW) program in its initial phase in November 2025, marking a new era of quality higher education in the Far-Western Province. With this program, the college believes that a path has now been opened for students to gain an international standard of education in the province, without having to travel to Kathmandu.
SWA aims to bridge the gap between education and employment. Besides, teaching, the college creates an educational environment that changes thinking. With modern laboratories, an experienced faculty, and interactive teaching methodologies, the college is expected to become a model institution for the province itself.
In the future, the college plans to launch programs in subjects including Management and Information Technology.
