Sherubtse College (Royal University of Bhutan)

Sherubtse Institution, created in 1966 by a group of Jesuits led by William Mackey, was Bhutan's first accredited college. The institution was converted to a Junior College in 1976, providing pre-university science programmes. Arts and business courses were offered in 1978. Father Gerald E. Leclaire S.J. was the inaugural principal of Sherubtse College, which became an affiliated college of the Delhi University system in India in July 1983. A number of Jesuits from Canada taught English and Science.

In 2003, it became a part of the Royal University of Bhutan, a system that includes all of Bhutan's public post-secondary schools.

Sherubtse College is in the Trashigang district of east Bhutan, in Kanglung. The college campus is huge and sprawling. The Yongphulla domestic airport is only 10 minutes away from Sherubtse College.
