America is the world’s top destination for international students! With 600 degree programmes including areas as diverse as Business, Engineering, IT, Biomedical Sciences, Psychology, Law, Liberal Arts and many more at nearly 4,000 universities and colleges, American higher education has something special to offer each and every student - including financial assistance. In addition to parttime work opportunities on cam- pus, many universities offer international students various scholarships based on academic results, sporting achievements, or personal accomplishments in life. American education is an excellent investment in your future and such assistance makes it affordable. American education isn’t based on just an exam. A process of continual assessment means that a student’s final grade or result is based on a combination of factors, not merely a single exam. Furthermore, American- style education promotes critical thinking, leadership, problem solving, independent thought, and effective communication. Academic theory in the classroom is combined with practical experience through projects and activities designed to give students valuable real-life exposure in the context of a career-oriented education. The goal is to develop the individual and make him or her passionate about learning. American graduates can even gain a year of work experience in their career field through the programme known as Optional Practical Training (OPT). Such experience can play an important role in helping returning graduates to contribute more to the development of Sri Lanka much earlier in their careers as well as increasing their own earning power and chances of true career success.

The American University Exhibition also includes an informative session by American Embassy staff on the student visa process, as well as seminars by education professionals on important aspects of planning your American education, including the application process, planning your career, and financial aid. This will be a unique and valuable experience for prospective students, their parents, and anyone interested in American university education at both the undergraduate and graduate levels. Visit the American University Roadshow in Sri Lanka and find out why America is your best choice for Higher Education.
