University of Nepal (UNepal) is an initiative undertaken with the mission of transforming the higher education in Nepal in terms of its goals, relevance, quality, accountability, and potential contribution to realize our national aspiration for “Prosperous Nepal, Happy Nepali”.
The University of Nepal (UNepal) is envisioned as an autonomous, world-class institution dedicated to preparing graduates who are capable of addressing both present and future challenges, improving their own lives, and contributing to the service of Nepal and the global community. Committed to fostering a culture of excellence among its students, faculty, administrators, and stakeholders, UNepal will be a student-centered institution of higher learning that prioritizes the nation’s needs while embracing the interests of its diverse constituencies. The university will remain accessible to students from all sectors of Nepali society and beyond.
UNepal aims to nurture graduates who are not only technically and intellectually competent but also equipped to navigate ethical, cultural, and moral dimensions of society. They will embody innovation, creativity, critical and independent thinking, and evidence-based analysis. With strong communication and collaboration skills, a sound understanding of research, and a lifelong passion for learning, these graduates will be prepared to take on leadership roles in their communities and the nation.
To achieve these goals, UNepal will offer undergraduate programs across a wide range of disciplines, grounded in the philosophy of liberal education; broad-based, student-centered, and designed to encourage both specialization and independent thought. The university will also develop graduate programs and advance interdisciplinary, holistic approaches to teaching, learning, and research. In doing so, it will uphold the democratic and pluralistic aspirations of the nation.
