Private Education providers seek UK partners for in-country-delivery

A group of reputed private education institutions is seeking to partner with a UK university to offer undergraduate and postgraduate degree programmes in multiple subject areas (Business management, computing and IT, banking and finance, human resource management)

Sri Lanka has seen a rapid growth in the TNE sector and, huge scope for in-country delivery by utilising local benefits, new delivery models and marketing to the emerging middle class. There exists remarkable interest in collaborations with the state and private sector higher education institutes in Sri Lanka.

As the TNE market continues to take centre stage in Sri Lanka’s higher education landscape, we break down the reasons why you need to be a part of this growth.

§  Rising income levels as a result of the growing economy

§  Booming  IT sector with clear pathway to immediate employment

§  Increasing potential for online learning in Sri Lanka

§  Sri Lanka has only 22,016 seats for 142,516 students qualified to enter government universities, providing an opportunity for UK universities to fill the demand gap.

 

Programme expectations:

The local institution wants to expand its offering with 2+1 or 3+0 bachelor’s degree programmes with a focus on business management, computing and IT, banking and finance and human resource management.
