The University of Nepal (UoN) is a research oriented, multidisciplinary, autonomous public university established by the University of Nepal Act 2024 ratified by the Federal Parliament of Nepal.

UoN aims to produce competent graduates equipped with knowledge, skills, creative and critical thinking abilities, inspiring them to make a strong commitment to social transformation and nation-building. The university also seeks to serve as a catalyst to bring reform in Nepal’s higher education system through demonstration effects.

The defining characteristics of UoN include, among others, independent governance through a Board of Trustees, disciplinary specialization combined with interdisciplinary exposure via a robust undergraduate curriculum based on Liberal Arts and Sciences philosophy, highly qualified faculty, innovative pedagogy, and a dynamic and conducive academic ecosystem across its campuses.

UoN intends to establish itself as a center of excellence in Nepal’s higher education landscape.

Initially, the university will launch a limited number of high-quality academic programs, ensuring internationally competitive standards. Over time, it will gradually expand to include multiple schools and faculties, fostering interdisciplinary learning and research.

With a strong commitment to academic excellence, UoN aspires to become a leading institution of higher education and research, attracting academically motivated scholars and talented students from Nepal and beyond.
