Academic Programmes
Tribhuvan University committed and dedicated to makes a source and centre of quality education, setting up a culture of learning in the country and promoting the notion of national and global peace and harmony. Recently, the Tribhuvan University made a decision to start semester system at the Central Departments. All the departments, except the Central Department of Law, introduced the semester system. This systemic change was introduced to enforce the academic calendar, to make students full time students dedicated to their studies, to reduce financial burden on students and their parents by making the students complete the degree in time, to respond to the growing concern of the stakeholders about enhancing the academic quality of university education through academic rigor, to revitalize the fame, popularity, credibility and contribution of the university as the oldest centre of higher learning and the central and leading university of Nepal.
The Faculty of Management and Institute of Science and Technology have decided to extend the semester system in Master’s degree outside the
central department from this year. Other Faculties are still planning for extension. Adopting the semester system is really going to prove a daunting task for such a large university spread all over the country. However, if the nation prioritizes education and gives desirable financial support to the university, TU will definitely move ahead on the path of achieving academic excellence and will be able to supply capable manpower to meet the growing challenges of the time.
Since its inception, TU, the state owned university, has expanded its programmes in different disciplines. There are 5 technical institutes and 4 general faculties. TU offers profi certifi level courses only in nursing. It has a wide range of course offerings in Bachelor’s and Master’s levels. TU offers M. Phil. and Ph.D. degree in different disciplines both at the Technical Institutes and Faculty.
TU conducted its programmes only through its constituent campuses prior to 1980. As the number of the students willing to acquire higher education was increasing day by day, it was not possible for the university to accommodate all the students in the constituent campuses. This situation led to the establishment of colleges in the private sector. From 1979 –80, TU started providing affiliation to private colleges to conduct various programmes at different levels. One thousand eighty four (1084) private colleges spread all over the country have so far received affiliations from TU.
TU has 7966 teaching faculty and 7230 non- teaching staff including the support staff in its constituent campuses. The total number of employees is 15196 including 124 new posts of the Manmohan Cardiothorasic Centre.
