Over the years, APIIT - Sri Lanka has been paving the way for a large number of students to obtain a British degree from Staffordshire University (SU) while studying at its City Campus in Colombo. APIIT City Campus provides outstanding facilities for teaching/ learning and students' learning experience is similar to that in British universities. However, Staffordshire University runs several hundred cutting edge courses on its campuses in the UK and it is not practical to bring all these programmes to Colombo.
It is important, then, that we find ways and means of allowing our students to benefit from these first class learning opportunities at Staffordshire University. With this objective in mind, Staffordshire University has set up a permanent office at the APIIT City Campus in Colombo to provide Sri Lankan students with information about all University programmes and to facilitate their transfer for study in the UK. Staffordshire University Sri Lanka Office facilitates direct entry to an extensive range of courses at foundation, certificate, diploma, degree and postgraduate level in the areas of Arts, Media and Design; Business and Law; Computing, Engineering and Technology; Health; and Sciences. The SU Sri Lanka Office provides up-to-date information on all these study programmes. In addition, the SU Sri Lanka Office provides career guidance and counseling service to help students select appropriate study programmes, assists students with visa application, and coordinates with the University Departments for exemptions for prior learning (eg HND, CIMA, CIM etc). All these services are provided free of charge.
Staffordshire University, established in the early 1900s, has evolved into one of the UK's most dynamic, progressive and forward-thinking learning institutions. Always quick to adapt as student requirements change, Staffordshire University has become renowned for its groundbreaking new courses and first-class learning opportunities.
Located in the heart of England in a region popularly known as the Midlands, Staffordshire University is surrounded by a sophisticated network of roads and railways with easy access to major cities like London.
