ABOUT US

Campus of International Languages (CIL) or Bishwo Bhasa Campus is located at Pradarshani Marg, Kathmandu. It is the only language teaching campus under Tribhuvan University (TU), the oldest and highly regarded university in Nepal. This is the only campus in Kathmandu that teaches different languages. At present, there are two language programs running in the campus -- the Himalayan Language Program, which includes Nepali, Sanskrit, Newari, and Tibetan and the Foreign Language Program, which includes English, French, German, Chinese, Japanese, Korean, Spanish, Russian and Urdu. The Campus is also planning to add two more foreign languages to the list; they are Italian and Arabic. 

Language programs, other than English, are offered as a two-year course divided into four semesters. The first two semesters constitute 'Ordinary Level' and the last two semesters, 'Advanced Level'. In Nepali language program, there is also a Post-Advanced third-year course which includes the study of Nepali Grammar, history, culture, and literature. The campus has also started a third-year Japanese language course. English language program is divided into two levels called 'Basic English' and 'Advanced/Writing English'.

Bishwo Bhasa Campus boasts of its well-trained and experienced faculty that include Nepalese as well as foreign nationals. It has native speakers to teach Himalayan Languages whereas foreign languages are taught either by Nepalese teachers or by foreign native speakers of the respective languages. Himalayan languages are offered only to foreign (non-Nepalese) students and the foreign languages only to Nepalese students.

Students get knowledge of four basic language skills, namely, listening, speaking, reading, and writing (LSRW). Each semester is roughly divided into three equal parts by two internal assessment tests to evaluate how far the students have learned the skills. And each semester is concluded with final examinations. Students must secure at least 60% marks in each exam to get a promotion to higher-level courses. The following are the test titles:

  1. Reading Comprehension, Composition, and Dictation.
  2. Listening Comprehension and Reading / Recitation.
  3. Viva-voce / Oral.

Message from the Campus Chief

Bhim Nath Regmi

Dear Visitors, Namaste! 

Welcome to the Campus of International Languages (CIL), the only campus under Tribhuvan University offering both Academic non-academic Language courses in Nepal. We offer language programs in five Himalayan languages–Nepali, Sanskrit, Newari, Pali, and Tibetan—to the expatriate students and in several foreign languages to the Nepalese students. Moreover, the campus has also launched a three year-Bachelor Program in Nepali for foreign students. 

We offer exciting opportunities for learning languages in a multicultural atmosphere. I believe the multicultural environment the Campus offers certainly provides students an international perspective in their outlook and vision. Our current students—Nepali and expatriate—feel themselves fortunate for their exposure to different beliefs, customs, and religions. And, I reinstate our commitment to bring many cultural traditions to CIL students on a daily basis. 

I am proud of our faculties who are dedicated to achieving the goal of the Campus, that is, to produce human resources capable of communicating with people speaking different languages. Our faculties endeavor to make students feel ‘at home’ in our stimulating learning environment. 

I am also proud of the infrastructure of the CIL. Our library possesses a good collection of textbooks and reference materials. The CIL also has an audio-visual library equipped with modern language learning facilities. Welcome once again to the Campus of International Languages. I hope the aspiring students will learn more about us by browsing our website.
