Study Abroad Programs in Bhutan

A hidden gem amidst the eastern Himalayas, landlocked with China and India, studying abroad in Bhutan sets students in an incredibly diverse backdrop of new experiences. Not only is Bhutan known as one of the happiest countries in the world, but it is also one of the last remaining Buddhist Kingdoms, making it rich in history and culture. International students studying in Bhutan have the opportunity to study several subjects at local colleges, and spend their days exploring this small country that is also known as The Land of the Thunder Dragon.

A Guide to Studying Abroad in Bhutan

Locations

Whether you study abroad in Bhutan in the capital city of Thimphu, a rural field station, or the largest district in Bhutan, Trashigang, the academic and experiential options are plentiful. Royal Thimphu College, based in Bhutan’s capital, offers study abroad courses for general degree programs, ranging from English and Natural Sciences, to Sociology and Economics. Students also have the chance to learn alongside local Bhutanese students during their study abroad program.

Sherubtse College, the first and oldest academic or educational college in Bhutan is located in Kanglung, Trashigang. It’s the largest college in the country and offers classes in several disciplines, including but not limited to: physical and biological science, arts and humanities, and the social sciences.

If you’re looking for a more hands-on experience while studying abroad, during which you can explore rural Bhutan, there are also programs available in which students can participate in research relating to environmental conservation. The Ugyen Wangchuck Institute for Conservation and Environment is an example of one organization that students can work with while studying in Bhutan.
