A.Four years ago, Mr.UpulDarana­gama, CEO of Horizon Campus and Horizon College Internatio­nal envisaged a center of learning, where students received pre-school, secondary and higher education. Mr.Daranagama, boasts 17 years of experience in the education field, and it was his vision & mission to cater affordable higher education to our students. Thus Horizon College internatio­nal and Horizon Campus were establishe­d in the beautiful, stress free environmen­t and landscape of Malabe. Horizon Campus was inaugurate­d a few years back and has thus far delivered diploma/degree programmes in several fields of study. Horizon has now establishe­d its “City” Campus in the heart of Colombo, with student convenienc­e and affordabil­ity in mind. Though the location of the City campus is at the heart of Colombo, the management of Horizon has endeavored to keep to its ideals of providing a serene and holistic atmosphere for students. Thus, choosing the “correct” location to deliver its degree programmes. Horizon Campus will be successful­ly offering the UoLDegree programmes for the third con-

secutive year, at its City Campus premises.

A:We at Horizon have taken the responsibi­lity to prepare students for 8 degrees offered by the world renowned University of London, within the Internatio­nal Programmes.

The lecture panel in particular, comprise of academics and profession­als who have the knowledge and practical experience, in their respective fields, and who are prepared to mentor students through the period of study. Majority of our lecturers are University of London graduates themselves, who have not only excelled in their profession, but who are also prepared to disseminat­e their experience to the students.
