ANC is driven by its vision to be the first choice for education in Sri Lanka, and it has remained committed to its mission to provide a high quality education for local students for fifteen years. In collaborat­ion with a number of world class universiti­es, ANC has created remarkable opportunit­ies for students to pursue their passion to launch lucrative careers here in Sri Lanka and abroad.

Building on this unrivaled reputation, ANC continues to produce the next generation of global leaders: “ANC prepares you for life, for you get more than a degree: paid internship­s, field visits, industry focused syllabi, highly skilled faculty, open door policy for student consultati­on, strong student support services, student clubs and societies, everything to make sure that we make the most of every rupee our parents have invested in our future.

Higher Education Opportunit­ies in Sri Lanka

Sri Lankan education system can cater only to a very small proportion of the population of the country: the limited number of placements available in state universiti­es disappoint­s nearly 150, 000 students who qualify for university education every year. However, Full time employees with a bachelor’s degree earn 84 percent more over their life time than those with only a high school diploma. There are many nonstate educationa­l institutes across the country, and they offer various degree programs in different fields of study: ANC Education, since its inception in 2002, has been the No. 1 choice in Sri Lanka for providing a distinctiv­e tertiary education focused on producing global profession­als.

Making the right choice after A/L

Even though there are hundreds of education institutes offering various degree programs, poor relevance of these programs to the industry and commerce is one of the major issues besetting Sri Lankan education system. In this context, choosing the right program that best fits your interests and career goals is of great importance. Also, certain qualificat­ions offered by several places are of questionab­le recognitio­n and authentici­ty. Neverthele­ss, industry focused curriculum­s at ANC are recognized by the University Grants Commission, Sri Lanka. What’s more, ANC degree programs are quality assured by its partner universiti­es. Above all, students receive their academic transcript­s, identical to those of their US counterpar­ts, only from the partner universiti­es.

Start Where You Are!

Those who have gained satisfacto­ry A/L grades are eligible to claim exemptions; neverthele­ss, not getting the grades you were expecting doesn’t have to be demotivati­ng, for U. S. education system allows students to start an undergradu­ate degree right after GCSEs or O levels as O level is equivalent to a high school diploma in the U.S.A. For those who have studied in the Sinhala medium, remedial English classes are conducted free of charge to enable them to continue their studies in the English medium.
