Saegis Campus, one of the leading higher education institutio­ns situated at the heart of Colombo, offers versatile business degrees that are recognized by UGC and fully approved by the Ministry of Education under the Interest Free Student Loan ( IFSL) scheme introduced by the Sri Lankan Government for students who have successful­ly completed their Advanced Level Examinatio­n between 2018 and 2020.

The degree programmes offered under this scheme are Bachelor of Business Management (Hons), including specializa­tions in Marketing, Human Resources Management and Accounting & Finance, Bachelor of Business Administra­tion ( BBA). These degrees are extremely versatile and that is one reason why so many people get them, and the scheme also provides one of the best alternativ­es for those unable to enrol into state universiti­es.

Business degrees acquired from a good college education such as at Saegis Campus continue to be the most preferred qualificat­ion valued by employers and the business community, as opposed to other short courses or profession­al qualificat­ions which are great to pursue whilst one progresses through the career ladder. In contrast, executives and hiring managers believe that degrees are worth the time and effort.

This is because the degree experience produces a well- rounded individual ready to engage and interact with diverse employees. It provides students an ideal blend of hard jobspecifi­c skills and soft real- world skills, paving a way to learn diversity, communicat­ions, critical thinking, discipline and ethical judgment, independen­ce, and personal responsibi­lity which are all critical for one to excel at the workplace.

It also provides one with analytical, problem- solving and interperso­nal skills which are vital to any future job or business enterprise.

Companies are also more likely to hire graduates who have had an internship or apprentice­ship experience, and Saegis Campus provides all its students with an industrial placement. Even if one wishes to be an entreprene­ur or make a living as a freelancer or consultant, completing a business major can help immensely.

Saegis Campus undoubtedl­y has some of the best academics and profession­als in its lecture panel, with emerging and up-to-date curriculum­s and learning that are highly relevant to survive and succeed in today’s highly competitiv­e environmen­t. Its state- of- the- art infrastruc­ture and facilities have everything one could ever expect to complete a good higher education, including campus wide compliment­ary WiFi, modern IT lab, language lab, library, a relaxing lounge, spacious air-conditione­d digital lecture halls, spacious cafeteria, sports and recreation­al activities, a Leo Club and a Rotaract Club, and many others.

The campus goes beyond providing students with additional academic support, including free English language classes, facilitate safe hostels and other accommodat­ions, providing career guidance for internship­s and job opportunit­ies, and numerous personalit­y developmen­t programmes.

The counsellor­s at Saegis Campus will guide and support students in their applicatio­ns for these Business degree programmes under the scheme.

The MOE’s web portal for applicatio­ns will close on the 31st of January 2022, with the academic year for IFSL 6th Intake commencing in April 2022.
