The British Education Group, which owns The British College, Kathmandu, has now acquired the Maritime Business College (MBC), one of the oldest private institutes in Nova Scotia, Canada.

Founded in 1899, MBC has a rich history of providing advanced career training. Over 125 years, the Halifax-based institution has built a strong reputation for educational excellence and adaptability in the evolving job market.

The British Education Group said in a press statement that the local Ministry of Education also fully accredited the college as a Designated Learning Institution (DLI), making it one of the few private colleges in Canada authorised to recruit international students.

They currently offer a diverse range of programmes, including Business Administration, Veterinary Assistance, Medical Device Reprocessing, Interior Decorating, and 2D-3D Animation and Digital Arts.

As a result of this new partnership, the British Education Group plans to introduce additional courses offered at its London campus, Woolwich College.

Rajen Kandel, Group CEO of the British Education Group, said, “We are committed to providing our students with global opportunities and experiences. This acquisition will facilitate seamless credit transfers between our Nepal, Dubai, and Canada campuses, further promoting our vision of creating global citizens.”

The group owns several educational institutions in Nepal, Dubai, and London.
