Are you ready for America?

-

While students often dream of restarting their lives in America, the reality is that it can be equally as challengin­g as it is interestin­g!

One of the most common challenges internatio­nal students face is dealing with “culture shock.” This is the time of transition from home to an unknown country, and adapting to the new culture, can be a challenge.

It is therefore advisable to get advice from the right sources, ensuring that accurate informatio­n is received.

Change of culture and values

American customs and values can differ to those in Sri Lanka, and can be confusing therefore. Independen­ce, equality, informalit­y and directness are four of the values that are near and dear to the American heart. A way of understand­ing the values is through getting used to the traditions. This is easily achieved by participat­ing in the holidays and events.

Become globally competitiv­e through internatio­nal exposure

Studying abroad for longer periods encourages cultural immersion and provides more opportunit­ies for world travel, overseas internship­s and a stronger sense of academic stability. The exposure received enables the student to be globally competitiv­e.

The degree programme will provide students with the experience and knowledge to excel in further studies or in the world of work. The customised degree programs are designed to empower students to be the best version of themselves, as well as the ability to succeed in all that the endeavor.

Start in Sri Lanka, continue in America and travel the world
