“A/L results not as you expected?”
Don’t worry IIHS offers a world of hope to transform your life
The International Institute of Health Sciences (IIHS) soars above all other private tertiary institutes in Sri Lanka by offering internationally accredited courses in Health Care at extremely nominal prices. Traditionally, the primary focus of the typical Sri Lankan student’s education has been centered on excelling in secondary education where the success in Ordinary and Advanced Level exams have been the promise to a prosperous future. In addition, students seeking tertiary education have also ventured into programs that offer conventional courses to fields, for instance, Information Technology which only offer a general certificate upon completion of the program. However, as IIHS offers courses at a Diploma, Degree, Masters and PhD level, students will gain the opportunity to excel in their selected fields of Health Sciences and Management.
The ‘Foundation in Biological Sciences’ (FBS) , program offered by IIHS serves as a groundwork for Nursing, Physiotherapy and Bio Medical Science courses where the student will gain a fundamental education and insight to Biological Sciences. In order to enter this program, the applicant requires passes in his/her Ordinary Level exams. This program allows students to continue their future studies in Australia, United States of America, United Kingdom and Finland. Another advantage is that completion of FBS leads to direct admission to many health programmes in Coventry University UK, substituting Advance level entry .
The TAFE program offered by IIHS directs students towards an exciting and rewarding career that provides many opportunities in the health care sector. This course at IIHS offers a Certificate in Health Sciences and leads a pathway to TAFE (South Australia) for students to complete a 14 month Diploma in Nursing that would enable them to graduate as Enrolled Nurses and apply for registration through the Nursing and Midwifery Council, Australia. Amongst the many advantages of this program, the most noticeable benefit includes the ability for a student to obtain a world class qualification with international recognition within a shorter time period. This would in turn serve as a tremendous cost saving to students at an institute which constantly prides itself on its adherence to international standards. Worldwide employability is guaranteed with all nursing programs and Enrolled Nurses are employed in hospitals, community health services, residential care, private homes (home care), industrial sites, schools, medical practices and pathology services. As the global health industry is on the rise employers report large shortages in this field and therefore great opportunities exist in this field. Further, the candidates have the opportunity to move in to the second year of the Bachelors in Nursing, programmes of universities in Australia leading to Registration as a Division I Nurse . With a degree in Nursing they also have the opportunity to enter in to Medical Schools in Australia.
Entry Requirements for the TAFE program includes the successful completion of G.C.E O/L with minimum passes including Credit passes for English, Mathematics and Science. This pathway is the most cost effective pathway to become a world class nurse once an individual completes Ordinary Level. Through the TAFE program he/ she she can follow through to a Diploma and thereby a Degree within a very short period. This course is also suitable for students who have been unsuccessful with G.C.E Advanced Level examination.
International Foundation of Business management is a programme which substitutes to ALs and upon completion the candidates could move in to Bachelors in Business management programmes in Australia and to the Advance Diploma in Business Management (ADBM) . This programme has 2+ 2 Pathways with Griffith many other Universities in Australia .
CEO/Founder of IIHS, Dr.Kithsiri Edirisinghe states, ‘Globally, the health and management spheres provide ample job opportunities to graduates and we at IIHS constantly ensure that our programs align with international standards to provide a quality service to the students of Sri Lanka and its neighboring countries. By opting to follow the Advanced Diploma in Business Management through IIHS, a student will save approximately Rs. 4 million on education fees while gaining immense national and international opportunities. In addition, those students who were not successful in the G.C.E Advanced Level exams may gain entrance through their G.C.E Ordinary Level exam results and focus on advancing in their personal and professional endeavors”.
