IIHE : For Professional Leadership and Personal Development
When it comes to private tertiary education in Sri Lanka, the choices available to a student can sometimes seem mind boggling. So on what basis should a student choose one institute over the other?
COO of the prestigious Imperial Institute of Higher Education (IIHE) Mr. Harshana D Perera offers these key insights into the advantages IIHE offers “We are one of the few institutions with direct association with the parent University, and the quality of the Programmes we offer are subject to the quality assurance systems of the Quality Assurance Agency(QAA) in the UK. Every step of the way our students receive the best international standards in terms of curriculum, assessment systems and grading, completion times and admission criteria. IIHE has been and always will be an institution that will offer Degrees from Internationally reputed Universities ensuring that our students fulfil their goal of becoming a preferred professional in the global market”
Established in 1996, IIHE has since gained a solid reputation for providing validated Degrees from the University of Wales, UK, and is the only institute in Sri Lanka that can claim a direct association with the University.
Revanke De S Wijeyeratne who graduated with a BSc ( Hons) in Business Management from the University of Wales UK at IIHE also selected IIHE to peruse his MBA from Wales. He offers this insight “IIHE offers many an advantage... students are listed as internal students of the University of Wales... which allows us direct access to the University of Wales Online Library Servicers as well as its Alumni... The lecture panel at IIHE too is a major advantage.

IIHE is proud to have seen its Alumni step out into the corporate world both here and internationally and succeed in attaining positions of prominence and responsibility – taking on management and leadership roles in the most sought after companies. Speaking of the weight an IIHE qualification adds to a CV Mr Wijeyaratne testified that “IIHE is very well recognized in the corporate world as an institute that offers a comprehensive curriculum for its BSc and MBA students... For me personally the experience and knowledge gained through the programmes followed at IIHE has allowed me to better equip myself in the corporate world, the constant emphasis on creative learning and out of the box thinking has undoubtedly been a great advantage”.
