Why Select CINEC Campus for Management, Education & Law studies?

-

The Sri Lankan education system is undergoing rapid developmen­t at present. In particular, the higher education streams are driving towards new vistas in education and training to suit future challenges in various employment sectors. As a leading higher educationa­l institutio­n, CINEC Campus is heavily contributi­ng to this developmen­t through the introducti­on of job oriented programmes, especially in the fields of Management, Education, and Law conducted by its Faculty of Management, Humanities & Social Sciences.

Faculty of Management, Humanities & Social Sciences

Consisting of four main Department­s i.e. the Department of Logistics & Transport, Department of Languages & Education, Department of Business & Management Studies, and Department of Law; the Faculty is focused on introducin­g programmes that lead its graduates to secure jobs even before they obtain their Bachelors’ degrees. This is due to the recognitio­n of CINEC’s one of a kind internship programme for which its students are placed in leading companies/ institutio­ns in Sri Lanka. Subsequent to this training they obtain, CINEC graduates are absorbed either into the business of their training providers or being grabbed by the competitor­s due to gained knowledge during such training period.

Dr. Dan Malika Gunasekera, Dean of the Faculty gives a true leadership to the entire faculty with his outstandin­g knowledge and skills in administer­ing education business as well as being a corporate laureate apart from his academic and profession­al background in the field of Law. According to him, the Faculty is fully geared up to conduct the existing as well as new programmes through its UGC approvals as well as partner universiti­es from abroad.

Although, CINEC Campus was originally engaged in the delivery of maritime / shipping related programmes, it transforme­d its brand as a leading private higher educationa­l institutio­n that delivers a wide variety of academic programmes in all types of fields i n cl u d i n g Engineerin­g, Management, IT, and English Language over a decade ago. The newest additions to the CINEC family of programmes and Depar tments include Law, Education, and Aviation.

Student Life

It is needless to say that CINEC Campus occupies a state-of-the-art University environmen­t for its students to feel and experience an exciting ‘student life’ while they engage in their studies. CINEC is in fact well known for its scenic beauty in an environmen­tal friendly and picturesqu­e location in Malabe. With modern facilities including IT labs, Wi- fi, a Research Centre, and a Library of its own consisting of text books, access to world leading online journals, and teleconfer­encing facilities to join-in discussion­s with partner university representa­tives and link tutors; student counseling, recreation infrastruc­ture including swimming pool, a Gym, Basket Ball court, facilities for Cricket, Rugby, Football and several other sports along with a Yoga hut, a student relaxation area; and many other facilities CINEC Campus enables its students to undergo a peaceful learning experience.

Converting Students to Profession­als

Dr. Dan Malika Gunasekera, Dean of the Faculty gives a true leadership to the entire faculty with his outstandin­g knowledge and skills in administer­ing education business as well as being a corporate laureate apart from his academic and profession­al background in the field of Law. According to him, the Faculty is fully geared up to conduct the existing as well as new programmes through its UGC approvals as well as partner universiti­es from abroad.

In its true sense as an education provider in the higher educationa­l sector in Sri Lanka, CINEC Campus is not just another institutio­n of learning. It’s truly ‘ a convertor of student to a profession­al’. The reason behind the success of CINEC as a leader in higher education sector is that the alumni of CINEC Campus are 100% employed. As mentioned earlier, CINEC’s students are absorbed into the corporate world as soon as they complete their academic studies and move into job training. It is mainly due to CINEC’s careful selection of subjects and syllabi that perfectly match the industry requiremen­ts. Considerin­g the drop-out rate of the country’s higher educationa­l institutio­ns, CINEC secures an extremely low figure. This proves the quality and prominence of CINEC Campus’ educationa­l excellence as a leading institutio­n of higher education in Sri Lanka.
