Royal University of Bhutan
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Royal University of Bhutan, founded on June 3, 2003, is the national university system of Bhutan. It is comprised of eight member institutions:
- Sherubtse College in Kanglung, Trashigang, the original college in Bhutan
- The National Institute of Education (NIE) with campuses in Paro and Samtse
- The Royal Institute of Management (RIM) in Semtokha
- The Royal Bhutan Institute of Technology (RBIT) in Phuentsholing, Chukha
- The Institute of Language and Cultural Studies (ILCS) in Semtokha
- The Natural Resource Training Institute (NRTI) in Lobesa, Wangdue Phodrang
- The National Institute of Traditional Medicine (NITM) in Thimphu
- The Royal Institute of Health Sciences (RIHS) in Thimphu
HM Jigme Khesar Namgyel Wangchuck, the King of Bhutan, serves as Chancellor. Dasho Zangley Dukpa, the Vice Chancellor, handles day-to-day administration of the university system.
The Institute of Language and Cultural Studies, presently in Semtokha near Thimphu, is slated to expand to 500+ students and move to Taktsi in Trongsa dzongkhag. A primary task of ILCS is to preserve and promote Dzongkha, the national language of Bhutan.
The Centre for Bhutan Studies (CBS) in Thimphu, originally slated to become a member institution of the university, has retained its autonomous status.
