The campus atmosphere is vibrant, with a strong emphasis on both academic excellence and holistic development. Students can participate in a variety of tech-focused groups and events, such as hackathons, coding competitions, and workshops on emerging technologies. These activities not only enhance their technical skills but also promote teamwork and problem-solving abilities.
Outdoor activities are also a significant part of the student experience at GCIT, given Bhutan’s beautiful natural environment. Hiking, trekking, and other outdoor sports like football and basketball are popular, allowing students to explore the breathtaking surroundings and engage with the community's commitment to environmental stewardship.
The GCIT SPARK International Students Programme mainly focus on giving a unique learning experience for its international students to embark in a transformative experience. The idea was to immerse themselves in Bhutanese culture, participate in community-driven projects, and gain practical knowledge through short, intensive courses. SPARK Programmes include but not limited to Sustainability in the World of AI, AI for Business, and Generative Digital Media. SPARK also allows flexibility through their course customisation where the students can suggest their interested field of learning within the branches of information technology.
The program draws inspiration from Bhutan’s philosophy of Gross National Happiness, which emphasizes holistic development and wellbeing over mere economic growth. This philosophy has shaped the programme's approach, integrating education with cultural immersion and community service to foster a comprehensive learning environment. The inspiration also comes from a vision of global interconnectedness, where learning is not confined to classrooms but spans across cultures and communities, building bridges between diverse people.
The mission of the GCIT SAPRK International Students Programme is to offer a world-class educational experience that integrates academic learning with community engagement and cultural exchange. By doing so, the programme aims to develop knowledgeable, skilled, and culturally sensitive individuals who are prepared to contribute positively to their local and global communities.
The vision of the programme is to establish itself as a leading international study destination that provides a unique blend of education, community service, and cultural experiences. It strives to be recognized for its commitment to sustainable development through innovative and experiential learning practices. The program envisions creating a vibrant community of learners who are not only versed in their fields of study but are also advocates for cultural understanding and social responsibility.
