ESOFT offers scholarships to GCE A/L island top rankers
In recognition of the outstanding performance in the recently held GCE Advanced Level examinations, ESOFT the trailblazer in quality higher education with an island- wide presence has decided to offer the internationallyrecognised PEARSON BTEC HND programmes with a full scholarship for the island top rankers in their respective streams.
With a pioneering vision to empower aspiring and talented students, develop multifaceted future leaders, and champion greater good with ‘ education with an impact’, this initiative by ESOFT is to offer the toprankers a holistic learning experience with a UK HND programmeof their choice that will be vastly different from theirmainstream local university degree and be an eye-opener to international education. As the PLATINUM PARTNER for PEARSON in Sri Lanka for 4 consecutive years (since 2017 till now) due to sustained superior standards, ESOFT’s PEARSON BTEC HND programmes of 18 months cover a vast scope of study including IT, Business, Engineering, Hospitality and Travel & Tourism.
Whilst giving the liberty for the island top-rankers to choose their preferred area of study from the PEARSON HND programmes available, ESOFT also ensures that the students can successfully complete the course via online, part- time, modular basis or by attending minimum classes at the campus. The extended flexibility is to ensure that the HND programme does not hinder their local university degree in any waybut rather supplement and enhance their overall learning by grooming them with multiskills such as language proficiency, presentation skills, managerial skills, entrepreneurial outlook and other related softskills and to make them wellgeared to face the corporate world and take on challenges.
The HND intake is now on, and hence a major portion of the course learning will be completed before the local university commences giving the top- rankers a competitive edge over others. In addition to completing the HND programme, the student can also top it off with a degree later on by studying just one more year. The overall objective is
to ensure that the student is not only exposed to the highly technical state university degree, but is completed with a well- rounded international qualification making him/ her stand out from the rest.
Driven to be a one-stop hub of excellence in higher education and career empowerment, ESOFT’s PEARSON BTEC HND programmes ( BTEC HND in Computing, BTEC HND in Business Management, BTEC HND in Engineering, BTEC HND in Hospitality Management and BTEC HND in Travel & Tourism Management) offers a solid grounding in the respective field of study whilst preparing the student with the right skill set and knowledge to compete in the job market. It is noteworthy that the PEARSON HND programmes are carefully curated by a team of eminent academia and industry experts with updated syllabus content with the evolving industry horizons in mind and ensuring the students receive sound theoretical, practical and analytical knowledge. Whilst being the next stepping stone in a student’s higher education journey, the HND programme is apt for front- runners who want an internationally recognised qualification with infinite learning possibilities and a whole new experience.

ciple to encourage innovation, learning, career empowerment, professional ethics and integrity whilst promoting an environment to reward risk-taking and produce well-rounded graduates who are capable of providing the necessary leadership to overcome the many economic, social and environmental challenges the country is faced with.
