ANC launches UK undergraduate university programmes

ANC, the leading higher education provider in Sri Lanka for US and Australian based undergraduate university programmes, is launching UK university undergraduate transfer programmes in Sri Lanka today in collaboration with the Northern Consortium United Kingdom (NCUK).

A BOI approved tertiary education institution under the umbrella of Ceylinco Education Group, ANC’s foray into the UK university academic sphere now completes the triad of most sought after destinations by Sri Lankan students vying for higher education opportunities abroad.

“What we have done is ensured that the best university education options in the world are available right here in Sri Lanka,” Deputy Chairman of Ceylinco Education Group, Jagath Alwis said at the signing of the agreement between ANC and NCUK.

“ANC’s primary objective has been to give young people today a chance at embarking on world class university education, taking into consideration the cost effectiveness and the wide and diverse curriculum we can offer right here in Sri Lanka,” he said.

In partnership with Northern Consortium UK which has eleven owner universities within its purview, Alwis said the UK undergraduate transfer programmes will benefit both parents and youth in Sri Lanka by offering a guaranteed, fast-track, cost-effective UK university education at a considerably reduced rate.

“Our UK partner universities include eleven leading UK universities, four of whom belong to the elite Russell Group of UK universities. We are offering Sri Lankan students access to top UK universities at an affordable cost,” he added.

The Northern Consortium, United Kingdom has a twenty-year history of delivering highly regarded UK university undergraduate transfer programmes worldwide.

The eleven NCUK founder universities own the International Foundation Year and International Diploma programmes, which will be delivered at ANC. The owner universities collectively monitor the academic content and delivery of programmes to ensure they comply with the UK’s Quality Assurance Agency standards and deliver a comparable experience to that in the UK.

Chief Executive Office at NCUK Jean Krasocki said, “The NCUK’s pedigree is unrivalled in the UK and throughout our twenty year history, over 13,500 students have progressed from our programmes to degrees in the UK. Many of these students have obtained outstanding degree results and made a great contribution to their local societies and economies.
