Kathmandu University (KU) in Nepal and Crown Institute of Higher Education (CIHE) in Australia have announced a collaborative Bachelor of Information Technology (BIT) program. Under this partnership, students complete the first two years of study at KU, while CIHE oversees the remaining two years in Australia. Each intake is capped at 30 students, offering them a chance to immerse themselves in both KU’s academic rigor and Australia’s dynamic IT landscape.
For those who opt to continue in Nepal or face challenges obtaining an Australian visa, KU offers a seamless transition into its Bachelor of Computer Science or Bachelor of Technology in Artificial Intelligence programs. If 50% or more of the intake size requires this option, the Department will conduct a full-fledged BIT program in Nepal, allowing participants to complete the final two years at KU and graduate with a BIT degree from the university.
Meanwhile, students who move on to CIHE will be eligible to receive dual degrees from both KU and CIHE. In addition to a more cost-effective fee structure, they can also take advantage of various scholarship opportunities. This new BIT program is expected to broaden academic horizons and equip aspiring IT professionals with a truly global perspective.
