School of Environmental Science and

Management (SchEMS) is one of the first

affiliated institutions of Pokhara University,

and we have started our journey with

Pokhara University since 1999. SchEMS was

established by a team of highly qualified and

motivated professionals from multidisciplinary

backgrounds, and their goodwill and

recognition is not only at the national level but

also at the international level.

SchEMS has been conducting Bachelor of

Science and Masters of Science in Environmental

Management (from 2000), Bachelor of Business

Administration (from 2008), Training and Capacity

Building Service, Course on Integrated Mountain

Environment, and Research and Consultancy

Services. In this journey of 13 years with Pokhara

University, from this year onwards, SchEMS

is conducting Executive Master of Business

SchEMS is running environmental

management course at the undergraduate and

graduate levels. As environmental management

is a multidisciplinary subject, this course gives

due emphasis to social, cultural, economical

and regulatory aspects of the environment.

This course is balanced in the sense that

multidisciplinary fields of knowledge are

integrated to provide a comprehensive

working knowledge on environmental

management.

MSc/BSc in environmental management is

a multidisciplinary academic program. It is

based on scientific theories and principles

but focused on application aspects of various

tools for solving and managing environmental

problems. It integrates all major aspects

of biophysical as well as socio-economic

environments. The highlights of this program

are environmental economics, social science,

management, mathematics, policies and laws.

EIA, GIM and remote sensing, environmental

monitoring and modeling are some of the

major tools integrated into the program.

Extensive field studies, case studies, projects,

term papers, seminars and laboratory analysis

makes this program a practical one.

Program Objective

The main objectives of the environmental

management program are to:

1. Offer the courses and research studies

covering fundamentals, tools and advanced

courses on environmental management;

2. Provide an opportunity for carrying out

thesis or research using cross-cutting

tools and state of-the-art information;

3. Provide opportunity for students to acquire

advanced knowledge on the subject and

enhance individual skills and expertise, and

4. Contribute to policy research and

support the concerned institutions in

the country.

Career Opportunities

With the enforcement of environmental

protection legislation in Nepal, the

enforcement agencies at the central, regional

and local levels require trained human

resources in environmental management.

Good career opportunities also exist in

INGOs, NGOs and several other statutory and

voluntary organizations. The donor agencies

involved in development works also need such

human resources.

Nikky ShresthaI am very happy to be a part of this college and

thankful to the management for providing a homely

environment.



SchEMS is located right in the heart of Kathmandu and provides all the facilities

required for effective learning.


Khimananda SharmaSchEMS created the gateway to discover practical

knowledge along with the theoretical basis.

In the last semester of MSc/BSc program, each

student must carry an independent research work

and prepare a thesis report on the basis of his/her

own original research findings. It is compulsory

for all students to complete the degree in

environmental management. The research

involves in-depth investigation on the proposed

field or area of study with the application of

science research methodology. A thesis advisor,

a faculty member, or an expert in the related field

from in-house or outside, will be appointed for

each student.

The evaluation of thesis will be done, both

internally and externally. The evaluation is

carried out in three stages:

1. Proposal writing, defense and

plan of work 20%

2. Mid-term progress of the research work

20%

3. Final defense and submission

of thesis report 60%

Further Studies and Credit TransferSchEMS has signed a “Memorandum of

Undrestanding” with universities and academic

institutions of the region as well as abroad in order

to avail an opportunity to SchEMS students for

further studies and credit transfer. Through these

agreements, a number of SchEMS graduates and
