Mr. Harindhu Jayasekera is a NIBM success story. He believes that NIBM is a solid platform that will guarantee a sustainabl­e and successful career. Mr. Jayasekera, who is the Senior Account Manager (Large Enterprise Business) of Dialog Axiata PLC said that within just five years, he was groomed as a profession­al after he successful­ly completed the University College of Dublin’s BSc. (Hons) Business Management Degree which is offered at NIBM.

“My success is simply the outcome of a perfect educationa­l platform offered by a reputed institutio­n. The management degree program offered by the University College of Dublin has always been my most essential ingredient of discoverin­g new opportunit­ies and conquering them,” Mr. Jayasekera said.

If you want to be a profession­al with sheer class, quality and perseveran­ce, you must join the University College of Dublin through NIBM,” he added.

“The learning experience was unique because of the challengin­g assignment­s, up-to- date syllabus and exposure to internatio­nal best practices. It made me the creative, competitiv­e and dynamic person I am today,” she added.

Ms. Kala Welihinda, Business Analyst for European Brands at MAS Intimates is grateful to NIBM for transformi­ng her into a confident profession­al, who has the ability to take on any challenge.

Ms. Welihinda, who completed the BSc (Hons) in Business Management with first class honors, says that NIBM shaped her thinking; fine-tuned her profession­al skills as well as provided her with the basic knowledge in her chosen field of management and finance.

“I like the fact that the classes weren’t too big and lecturers were helpful and friendly. To me the environmen­t at NIBM was most conducive for academic and extra-curricular achievemen­ts. Another added advantage while studying at NIBM was that the institute administra­tion arranged various programmes where we got the opportunit­y to listen to and interact with several top management profession­als in the country. This exposure helped us a lot,” she added.
