British College of Applied Studies (BCAS) appoints eminent personalities to its Board of Governance
The Board of Governors takes on a crucial role, serving as an esteemed advisory committee to the management of BCAS Campus. Their primary focus is on enhancing quality, standards, and the overall management of academic affairs.
What makes this governance structure truly unique is its diverse composition. The Governance Council consists of academics from various backgrounds, bringing a rich tapestry of perspectives to the table. This inclusive approach ensures transparency and accountability in every decision made for the betterment of BCAS. In partnership with overseas awarding bodies and universities, BCAS offers a variety of education programmes. Besides earning local recognition through awards such as Sri Lanka’s Most Successful Employer Award, the Outstanding Contribution to Education Award, and Asia’s Best Employer Brand Award, BCAS has received international acclaim as well. Approximately 3500 students are distributed across our four campuses in Colombo, Kandy, Jaffna, and Kalmunai.
