UCL partners EDEX Mid-Year Expo 2018 as Gold Sponsor
Universal College Lanka (UCL) is a Gold Sponsor at the EDEX MidYear Expo 2018 signifying its commitment to support an initiative which creates a platform for youth to explore opportunities available to them in terms of education and career paths.
With the vision to be the leader in educating and training work-ready professionals towards contributing to the social and economic development of our country, UCL was established in 2016 to offer the best education opportunities, not limited just to the youth of Sri Lanka but also to the youth of South Asia. Our aspirations are fuelled and directed by renowned South Asian business personality Bob Kundanmal, Educationist Dr. Harsha Alles and Management Consultant Zarif Munir of the Boston Consulting Group.
UCL is the exclusive partner of Monash College, a wholly owned subsidiary of Monash University, Australia. Monash University is currently ranked among the Top 60 Universities globally (ranked 59th). UCL offers the Monash University Foundation Year (MUFY) and the Monash College Diplomas in Business, Engineering and IT in Sri Lanka with a guaranteed pathway to Monash University.
UCL has also established an exclusive partnership with University of Central Lancashire (UCLan), UK which celebrates its 190th Anniversary this year, to offer Internal British Degree programmes to youth in the region. UCLan is one of the top Universities in UK for Entrepreneurs securing a ranking of 67th overall. UCLan offers two 4 Year Internal Degree programmes, BA (Hons) International Business and BSc (Hons) Software Engineering along with a guaranteed internship year.
