ANC Education is enthralled to open doors for Sri Lankan students to study at one of Canada’s most popular Universities through the Canadian University Transfer Programme.

One of the great strengths of Canadian higher education is the ease with which students can transfer from one college or university to another. Consequently ANC Education has paved way for Sri Lankan students to secure a place at Acadia directly or upon completing an year or two at ANC.
