Oxford College of Business hosts another successful AIBA-MBA alumni event

Over 150 MBA past and present students and staff attended a cocktail reception hosted by Oxford College of Business at the Cinnamon Lakeside- Earls Court Hotel in Colombo on 1st October 2010.
The event was hosted by the staff and management of Oxford College of Business, and was the second alumni event to be hosted by Oxford College of Business in the last 12 months.

Oxford College of Business realizes the immense value that this type of networking event provides to alumni and students and the opportunities that it offers students to make new and useful business contacts.

The guest of honour at the event was Minister Labour Relations Hon. Gamini Lokuge, Deputy Minister Higher Education Hon. Nandamithra Ekanayake, MP Thilanga Sumathipala and delegates from Adelaide Australia. The reception was also attended by CEO's, directors and general managers from all business circles as it was a rare opportunity for them to meet with some of the up and coming future business leaders in the country. The guests also made it a point not to miss this event as it was an ideal way of head hunting employees into their organizations. During the event the guest of honour handed over 6 ABE scholarships to up and coming rugby players of the CR and FC Sports Club which was a significant moment during the event.

Mr. Joel Abraham, International Marketing Director of the Australian Institute of Business Administration (AIBA), along with the head of the examination board, Prof. Rod Oxenburry from the campus also graced the occasion. The event also marked Oxford College of Business (OCB) and Australian Institute of Business Administration (AIBA) 3 year partnership, where OCB together with AIBA has been awarding the MBA's in Sri Lanka since 2007.

Mr. Abraham officially announced that AIBA was listed in the International Association of Universities (IAU); the official document publishing the list of universities in the world and as a result that the AIBA MBA is now UGC approved in Sri Lanka. Professor Rod said: "The international recognition of the MBA programme has long made it the best MBA for Sri Lankan business professionals, giving Sri Lankans the opportunity to obtain a totally internal and fully accredited Australian MBA in 12 months, while working full-time which is of great value."

MP Thilanga Sumathipala also speaking at the event said that "interest in the MBAS are expected to increase as more and more business professionals seek to upgrade their skills and employability in a time of economic upturn in the country" and the AIBA MBA takes you there in no time.

Traditional MBA modules involve several individual subjects being offered generally over a 12 week period. For a busy executive, this makes learning susceptible to external factors such as unexpected work and personal issues that could occur during this time.

The 12 Month MBA is offered at one subject per month. This means that students need to focus on just one subject at a time, in addition to their usual personal and professional obligations. The fact that the examination is just a month away from the start of each subject has contributed to high completion rates, as the students are continuously motivated.
