Create Value through Project Management!

At the ANC School of Postgraduate Education, we believe that sharing knowledge transforms lives by challenging their thinking - and these transformed individuals change organizations. As a leading tertiary education provider in Sri Lanka, ANC’s vision is to bring about these transformations to strengthen both individuals and organizations towards achieving personal and organizational goals.

ANC School of Postgraduate Education facilitates the most conducive environment for our Postgraduate students to sharpen their skills through teaching, engagement and application. We do so by providing MBA/ MSc/ LLM degrees which is awarded by the University of West London (UWL) conducted in a “mirror model” with the University in London without having the necessity for you to travel, live and study in London. Our students here receive the degree certificate and transcripts directly from the UWL.

Post graduate education will help you to stand out & is essential in workforce development. A developing country such as Sri Lanka will gain from a postgraduate workforce in taking the country forward as well as providing valuable services for those countries who seek outsourcing. Having a post graduate degree also aids in migrating to developed countries wanting to maintain a skilled workforce. The number of people with undergraduate qualifications is increasing therefore, postgraduates are becoming the new best candidate for any job. In addition, postgraduate courses can be more focused and specialised than general first degrees, which can give reassurance to employers concerned about their workplace suitability. A postgraduate degree may not be for everybody but for those who are up for the challenge to strive for excellence, high quality and standards. Number of postgraduate courses are smaller compared to undergraduate courses and students get the benefit of more individual attention to such skills because lecturers appreciate teaching self- selected and generally more motivated groups.

Apart from lecturers, we arrange public seminars, symposiums and networking events which provide an opportunity to interact with leading members of the legal profession and business community. We also provide our students networking opportunities with professionals, through series of guest lectures like Mr. Harsha Cabral and Mr. Hanif Yusoof, seminars and workshops, thus supplementing academic input with a rich learning experience. Talks of these guest lectures were also open to those who were interested.
