QI studied at Lyceum International School, Wattala. Istarted working career atNadastraPvt. Ltd and later joined R. R. Donneley as a financial associate. While working I realised I needed some additional qualifications to climb the corporate ladder. It was at this point that I came across this opportunity at ANC Education where I joined to follow a BBA in International Business under the E xe c u t i ve Development Programme.

QA : I was referred through a friend.

QA : It developed a platform for me to make quality contacts, interact with friends and lecturers as well as enhance my knowledge base. It’s uniqueness lies in the fact that it provides a prestigious American degree right here in Sri Lanka. ANC is also equipped with state-of-theart facilities such as laboratories and student-friendly classrooms which enriched my experience as a student here.

QA : There were certain modules like environmental science, Contemporary global issues, Philosophy of American Enterprise, which I think are great when considering aspects such as sustainability in busi- ness because today we live in a global world where there are no boundaries and there is a lot of international trade which is going on and as a student we need to be aware of environmental issues which surround the business. I was able to develop an all- round knowledge about global business environment and financing through this major. I was not a good researcher and I lacked presentation skills, but this programme groomed me well to excel in all essential pathways.

QA : I have a qualification in CIMA and since this programme provides exemptions for students with CIMA, I was able to enter the final year of this programme. In that way, I was able to save a lot of time and money.

QA : I was able to develop confidence and presentation skills through the exposure and experience I got through the EDP programme and this was a stepping stone in my path to success. I was nurtured to display my true potential to my seniors. Currently I am the acting team leader but I started as a financial associate then became a financial analyst and a senior financial analyst.

QA : ANC provides a holistic learning environment and a rich student culture by extending it’s experience beyond the walls of the classroom. ANC allows students to get involved in various student clubs and organizations. The flexible learning culture and expert faculty, places ANC as the best place one can enrol to obtain a foreign degree and it’s an internationally driven programme prepares students for a job with a world wide scope.
