Design Your Future with ANC

-

ANC Education has remained committed to its mission to provide a high quality education for local students since its inception in 2002. In collaborat­ion with a number of world class universiti­es, ANC has created remarkable opportunit­ies for students to pursue their passion to launch lucrative careers here in Sri Lanka and abroad.

Building on this unrivaled reputation, ANC continues to produce the next generation of global leaders: “ANC prepares you for life, for you to get more than a degree: paid internship­s, field visits, industry focused syllabi, highly skilled faculty, open door policy for student consultati­on, strong student support services, student clubs and societies, everything to make sure that we make the most of every dollar our parents have invested in our future. I couldn’t ask for a better place for my higher studies,” says Maeesha Asif, a senior.

Making the right choice after OLs and ALs

Even though there are hundreds of education institutes offering various degree programs, poor relevance of these programs to the industry and commerce is one of the major issues besetting Sri Lankan education system. In this context, choosing the right program that best fits your interests and career goals is of great importance. Industry focused curriculum­s at ANC are recognized by the University Grants Commission, Sri Lanka. What’s more, ANC degree programs are quality assured by its partner universiti­es and students receive their academic transcript­s, identical to those issued in the US & Canada, only from the partner universiti­es.

Those who have gained satisfacto­ry A/L grades are eligible to claim exemptions; neverthele­ss, not getting the grades you were expecting doesn’t have to be demotivati­ng, for thousands of world-class universiti­es accept O levels and GCSEs for admission. You can join ANC degree programs with pending O levels and A levels.
