Northshore College of Business and Technology was establishe­d in 2009 with the objective of providing highqualit­y educationa­l opportunit­ies to prospectiv­e students offering undergradu­ate and postgradua­te programmes of the UGC recognized University of the West of England ( UWE) which is one of Britain’s most popular universiti­es and prided as the largest provider of higher education in the South West of England with over 27,000 students and 3,000 staff. Northshore’s state- of- the- art campus with all modern amenities is located in Sri Lanka’s capital city of Colombo and plays a vital role in catering to the demand of the industry in Engineerin­g ( civil, electrical and electronic­s), Computing and Business Administra­tion fields by delivering the above mentioned UWE’s respective degree programmes. Northshore is also an approved center of Scottish Qualificat­ions Authority ( SQA) which is the executive public body of the Scottish Government responsibl­e for accreditin­g educationa­l awards. Northshore offers SQA’s HND programmes in Computing and in Business which are approved by the Tertiary and Vocational Education Commission of Sri Lanka (TVEC).

In addition to delivery of various academic programmes within its campus in Colombo, Northshore has also establishe­d Northshore Direct Placements as a separate service centre with the objective of providing educationa­l consultanc­y and direct placements to the reputed universiti­es located in different countries around the world, particular­ly in Russia, Belarus, Australia, New Zealand and United States.

The demand for places specifical­ly at medical universiti­es in Sri Lanka is increasing year on year, with many eligible students being disappoint­ed and missing out on a place at these universiti­es. This can be due to the prevailing high competitio­n for medical seats in respective medical universiti­es or due to the student’s inability to meet the stringent entry criteria of the medical universiti­es. Most students thus become dishearten­ed or discourage­d but what they do not know is that there are plenty of other options that will pave ways for them to achieve their ambition of becoming a medical doctor. Hence, for Sri Lankan students who dream of studying medicine and become a medical doct o r, N o r t h s h o re D i re c t Placements provide guaranteed medical placements in Sri Lanka Medical Council ( SLMC) approved world leading universiti­es in Russia and Belarus.
