Every student's dream is to graduate with a British qualification from Britain's No.1 University. Twenty years ago if this press release was published people would tend to wonder if it was April fool's day, but today it has became a reality! For the first time in history, Oxford College of Business (OCB) together with Heriot Watt University (HWU) has launched a 12Month MSc in Business Psychology. According to the National Student Survey (NSS) which is Britain's most recognized rating system, Psychology at Heriot Watt University was ranked number 1 out of 103 UK university psychology departments above London, Cambridge and Oxford in 2010.

Heriot Watt University established in 1821 is regarded as "Britain's best kept secret." The university has always come within the top 25% of universities in Britain and listed among the top 5% of universities in the world. The course director at Oxford College of Business states that "Business Psychology deals with understanding the psychological perspective of your stakeholders which is a very important aspect of modern business. You cannot be a successful leader if you do not understand your stakeholder's psychology. To me the MSc in Business Psychology is a 'psychological MBA,' furthermore students can now obtain the British qualification from the best Psychology provider in UK in just 12 months at a fraction of the cost."

Oxford College of Business set-up in 2003, is one of the few professionally run premier Business Schools working for the accomplishment of a mission- 'To develop skilled business leaders for industry and business, by offering value-based quality education' in the field of Business. It has made rapid strides and merged as a business school of excellence for providing postgraduate programmes, and modern management, by intensive and meaningful teaching methods, as well as regular inputs from an industry reputed faculty.

OCB grooms its students to excel as future corporate leaders, who can compete with the very best in the global arena and cater to the growing expectations of the corporate world. "OCB has always been proactive in adapting to the changing needs of corporate sectors and the launch of the 12 Month MSc in Business Psychology is one such step in enriching our nation with quality graduates," the course director at OCB added.

The head of the School of Life Sciences at Heriot Watt University Professor Adrian North who officially launched the 12Month MSc in Business Psychology stated, "Heriot Watt has over 20 years of experience of delivering our programmes outside Britain. Today, over half of our students reduce their tuition by this method. Our new partnership with Oxford College of Business in Colombo involves experienced tutors delivering our world-class teaching so that Sri Lankan students would have the same teaching experience as those in UK."
