The British Education Group, owner of The British College in Kathmandu, has acquired Maritime Business College (MBC), one of Nova Scotia’s oldest private institutes. Founded in 1899, MBC boasts a rich history of advanced career training. Over its 125-year history, the Halifax-based institution has earned a strong reputation for educational excellence and adaptability to the evolving job market. Accredited by the local Ministry of Education as a Designated Learning Institution (DLI), MBC is among the few private colleges in Canada authorized to recruit international students.
Currently, MBC offers a wide array of programs, including Business Administration, Veterinary Assistance, Medical Device Reprocessing, Interior Decorating, and 2D-3D Animation & Digital Arts. With this new partnership, the British Education Group plans to introduce additional courses from its London campus, The Woolwich College.
Rajen Kandel, Group CEO of the British Education Group, expressed enthusiasm about the acquisition: “We are committed to providing our students with global opportunities and experiences. This acquisition will facilitate seamless credit transfers between our campuses in Nepal, Dubai, and Canada, further promoting our vision of creating global citizens.” Kandel also extended his gratitude to all parties involved in the six-month acquisition process, particularly acknowledging the Canada-based Nepalese community for their ongoing support and guidance.
The British Education Group, which owns multiple educational institutions in Nepal, Dubai, and London, is dedicated to enhancing global exposure for its students and staff. This strategic acquisition marks a significant milestone for both the British Education Group and Maritime Business College, promising a future of continued educational excellence and global integration.
