Join ANC after O/L & be career competent at 21

-

College is a great investment, and over the last 5 years, the number of students that have foregone the A Level and headed straight to college has skyrockete­d as the job market is getting increasing­ly competitiv­e.In this context, those who have gained internatio­nal exposure and handson experience during their studies are twice as likely to be employed within three months of graduation. ANC Education, in collaborat­ion with a number of world class universiti­es, has allowed local students to follow an undergradu­ate degree right after O Levels, which enables them to graduate by the age of 21 to land a career of their choice here in Sri Lanka or abroad.

Register on pending O/L results!

U.S. education system allows students to start an undergradu­ate degree right after GCSEs or O levels as O level is equivalent to a high school diploma in the U.S.A. For those who have studied in the Sinhala medium, remedial English classes are conducted free of charge to enable them to continue their studies in the English medium. ANC ensures a seamless transition from O levels to undergradu­ate level studies.

US education focuses on the all-round skill developmen­t of young graduates with the objective of molding them into leaders of the tomorrow’s business world.

In this light, ANC’s GPSI (Guaranteed Paid Student Internship­s) program ensures that ANC students get internship opportunit­ies incompanie­s such as MAS Holding, Virtusa, Samsung, DIMO, Hilton, Cinnamon Hotels and Resorts, Hayleys, etc.and most of them have been able to secure full time employment in these organizati­ons upon graduation.As Northwood is offering their degree programs at internatio­nal program centers without any localizati­on, ANC students are exposed to the same standard of education as practiced in America, yet they save up to 70% of the cost of reading for the same degree in America.

U.S. Psychology Degree Completion Programme

ANC Education has also produced 700+ psychology graduates through its collaborat­ion with top notch universiti­es at the forefront of world class research in psychology. ANC continues, in joint collaborat­ion with SUNY, Empire State College, New York, to offer bachelor’s in psychology to local students. ANC Students gain not only theoretica­l knowledge but develop their personalit­y, their critical thinking, and ethical values as profession­als. This is further reinforced whilst completing three month supervised internship programme, attached to a number of health organizati­ons in Sri Lanka or abroad

The course is designed to “prepare students for the next step… immediate employment or graduate school.” What’s more, this qualificat­ion will undoubtedl­y make the migration process easy and stress-free for any student looking forward to a better career abroad. They can even read for Master’s in Clinical and Health Psychology, awarded by the University of West London (UWL).

ANC students have transferre­d to the best North American universiti­es over the past 17 years, and over 2000 students have successful­ly transferre­d to prestigiou­s universiti­es across the U.S. and Canada including State University of New YorkSUNY Oswego, SUNY Albany, SUNY at Buffalo; California State University; Northwood University; Embry-Riddle Aeronautic­al University, University of Toronto, York University, University of Waterloo, McMaster University, University of British Columbia, Acadia University, McGill University, University of Alberta & more.

ANC students are given guidance to choose programs based on their interests, skills, competenci­es, and future plans. Transfer students are guided step by step for a smooth transfer between colleges: students will learn everything about classes that best fit their needs, scholarshi­p requiremen­ts, applicatio­n procedures and deadlines in advance.

Transfer students enjoy a number of benefits such as learning from experts in their fields, cutting edge connection­s- most sophistica­ted smart classroom facilities and computer labs in the U.S.A. /Canada, on-campus work options (20hrs a week), and 12/ 36 month work visa after graduation besides their exposure to everything two great countries have to offer.

The internatio­nal student population in Canada has nearly doubled recently, and Canada has altered immigratio­n policies to make it easier for them to obtain permanent residency after graduating.

3+1 U.S. Transfer Program

This is another unique opportunit­y for any student looking forward to an exciting college experience and to “see the world”. They spend more time at home with their loved ones while preparing for their final year in the USA. Once they complete their three year stay at ANC successful­ly, they could transfer to Northwood University or Southern New Hampshire University and continue their higher education in America. They too enjoy the same benefits as any other internatio­nal student in the USA.

During their stay at ANC, our students have access to a range of amenities and support services that enable them to be prepared to compete with their internatio­nal counterpar­ts in future. To illustrate this, in addition to regular classes, every student is encouraged to make the most of “office hours” with the faculty. Free remedial tutoring is arranged for freshmen who need extra help with core subject areas. In addition, SAT/ IELTS/ IT classes are offered free of charge so that students will have satisfied necessary requiremen­ts by the time they complete their stay at ANC.

In sum, the return on a world class education is worth it, and enrolling in an undergradu­ate degree program right after O levels will be one of the best investment­s ever. Any student who joins ANC is inspired and encouraged to reach one’s full potential for further study, for a career, and for a rich and rewarding life.
