Royal University of Bhutan

Is this where the future of Bhutan is shaped? It might seem like a bold question, but standing here, in front of the Royal University of Bhutan, it isn’t so far-fetched. The Royal University of Bhutan, or RUB as it’s often called, is relatively young for a university. It was established in 2003 by royal decree with a unique vision. The goal was to unify the country’s higher education under one umbrella while promoting equity across the kingdom. This meant establishing colleges in various districts, making education accessible to more people than ever before. The Royal University of Bhutan isn’t just one building. It’s a network of colleges spread across the country, each specializing in a field. From natural resources to engineering, business studies to technology, RUB fosters diverse skills. This approach reflects Bhutan’s commitment not just to education, but to sustainable and holistic development. Imagine graduating not just with a degree, but with the knowledge that you’ll be contributing to the unique Bhutanese vision of Gross National Happiness. That’s the legacy of the Royal University of Bhutan.
