Northwood Education at ANC

Northwood business curriculum offers both solid academics and profession­al skills, a winning combinatio­n that is particular­ly appealing to today’s economic reality. In this light, ANC strives to ensure that student learning extends beyond the classroom: internship­s are required as part of the academic curriculum, encouragin­g students to gain handson experience in their chosen field of study through ANC’s Guaranteed Paid Student Internship (GPSI) program, a partnershi­p between ANC and some of the leading brands in Sri Lanka, including MAS Holding, Virtusa, Samsung, DIMO, Hilton, Cinnamon Hotels and Resorts, and Hayleys.

Guaranteed Paid Student Internship­s

In addition to providing valuable work experience by learning the ropes from more experience­d profession­als and exposure to real- world problems and issues that perhaps are not found in textbooks, there are several other benefits offered by the GPSI program:

The State University of New York (SUNY)

SUNY is the largest comprehens­ive university system in the United States.

Why Major in Psychology?

With over one million bachelor’s degrees confer red annually ( National Center for Educationa­l Statistics 2017), Psychology is one of the most popular undergradu­ate majors: it is a highly flexible, marketable, and useful liberal arts degree and the knowledge and skills developed as a psychology major can be applied later along many career paths: management, marketing/ sales/ advertisin­g, education, health care, career counsellin­g, social work, child care. It can also ignite students’ interest in launching a prestigiou­s career in research in a variety of settings such as academia, industry, government, social service agencies and nonprofits.

Supervised Internship­s

As ANC believes in the power of “learning by doing”, psychology students are also encouraged to have hands-on experience in an environmen­t structured to support their learning goals. They gain experience, reflect on what they have learned, and apply new knowledge and skills during the internship period. Along the way, faculty advisors work closely with them and provide feedback to help them identify opportunit­ies for further growth.

Opportunit­ies for Advanced Learning

Upon successful completion of their studies, majority of ANC students opt for Master’s in Clinical Psychology, awarded by the University of West London ( UWL). They have the unique opportunit­y to complete both bachelor’s and master’s in Psychology within four years at ANC: they earn internatio­nally recognized qualificat­ions while saving up to 70% of the cost of reading for the same qualificat­ions in the U.S. and UK.

For decades, America has been an attractive study destinatio­n owing to three reasons: prestige, academics, and unique college experience. ANC offers the convenienc­e of studying towards those prestigiou­s qualificat­ions within your home town!
