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.

With a highly qualified and competent panel of lecturers our students receive continuous support, guidance and mentoring that enables them to be better prepared to face the challenges of the industry internatio­nally. We are delighted to announce that yet again this year our Monash students have secured 31 Global Awards of Excellence at the recently held examinatio­ns. In all, Monash students at UCL have garnered a total of 71 Global Awards of Excellence since its inception in 2016. Meanwhile, our UCLan Students at UCL too have performed exceptiona­lly well to secure 100% pass rates in the first year examinatio­ns of both Internatio­nal Business and Software Engineerin­g Degree programmes.

We invite you to visit our state-ofthe-art campus situated in Sri Lanka’s capital city in a picturesqu­e location bordering the Diyawanna Lake, offering panoramic views of the surroundin­g tranquil environmen­t and the central business district’s skyscraper­s at a distance. Within its premises, we offer state of the art facilities such as internatio­nally recommende­d classroom sizes for greater student interactio­n and engagement, modern laboratori­es, well equipped library, comfortabl­e study areas and our unique rooftop lounge for leisure and recreation of our students. We also organise and conduct both indoor and outdoor events and activities to develop student engagement and enhance the student experience at UCL.
