The CPDS courses are taught by Tribhuvan University faculty from various departments, visiting professors from abroad, and experts from various specialized fields such as humanitarian relief; diplomacy, negotiation and mediation; military science, and human rights. As part of the exchange program between partner institutions, the classes are held in Sri Lanka for NOMA scholars during the third and the fourth semester. While Sri Lankan professors have already arrived to teach during the second semester, Nepali professors will travel to Sri Lanka as visiting faculty during the third semester in 2008.
