We are currently developing a comprehensive range of accredited and non-accredited programs in Tibetan and Himalayan Studies. These programs will encompass the full spectrum of Tibetan and Himalayan Studies, including language, history, culture, politics, art, and religion, offering both in-depth academic courses and engaging cultural immersion experiences. Most of these courses will be available both face-to-face and online. Further details will be announced soon. Please stay tuned for updates on our official launch dates and program offerings and see below our current programs under development. We look forward to welcoming you to our new initiatives.

Interested in experiencing a taste of Tibetan and Himalayan culture without the pressure of undergraduate studies? Our cultural appreciation program offers an engaging and 'hands-on' experience of introductory Tibetan language and culture over a 10-week period, covering topics such as Tibetan calligraphy, Thangka painting and Tibetan and Himalayan cuisine. Subject to demand, a trip to Bhutan and/or India/Nepal concludes this non-accredited program, with visits to key cultural sites. 

Want to explore Tibetan and Himalayan Studies further? A Diploma in this field will deepen your understanding of Tibetan and Himalayan cultures and languages, studied over one year. 

Our proposed Bachelor of Arts in Tibetan and Himalayan Studies will be the first BA program in the world to be delivered bilingually, in both Tibetan and English. Students who wish to study Tibetan and Himalayan culture, language, history and politics in depth, would first engage in a one-year intensive Tibetan language program. 

Students wishing to enrol in the Bachelor of Arts will first enter a one-year intensive Tibetan language program. In this program, classes on Tibetan language, history, culture, and politics are taught through the medium of Tibetan language. Both students with no prior exposure to the language and those with intermediate skills will be able to study in this program, starting at different levels following diagnostic testing. This model of language learning is based on the highly successful Hebrew language training programs for immigrants (mechina) prior to undergraduate studies at Israeli universities.
