Vicki Nairn, 91视频网 Principal and Vice-Chancellor, added:
"This partnership not only broadens 91视频网’s global presence but also provides Nepalese students with affordable access to a world-class Scottish qualification right at home. We are excited to meet the growing demand for a global qualification in Nepal while keeping fees competitive to ensure affordability remains a key factor."
