University rfecently to further expand the institutes academic portfolio
to offer students degree pathways in Business Administration at the

the beautiful environs of a top Canadian university through four year
degree programmes” states Professor S. Karunaratne, Chairman of SLIIT.
Students have to follow the programme for two years at SLIIT and can
complete their degree in Canada.
Professor Lalith Gamage, President and CEO of SLIIT comments that “We
would like SLIIT students to consider a Canadian education as Memorial
University is recognised for its quality education as well as the
quality of life students can enjoy while pursuing their studies in this
beautiful, scenic country”.
Professor Michael Burns, Manager of International Partnerships at
Memorial University’s Faculty of Business Administration who was in Sri
Lanka recently signed the MoU with SLIIT. “The tuition costs at Memorial
University are between a third and a half of what it costs at other
universities.
The reason our tuition fees are low is so that we can provide
opportunities for really good students to avail themselves of a
world-class education and facilities at our university.
This contributes towards Memorial University encompassing a diverse
student body and providing a conducive environment to learning and
knowledge sharing”. |
