After 2 years of hard work leading up to a highly competitive examination, the results of the Sri Lankan A/L examinations are yet pending. While a small number of students will have the chance to celebrate their success in securing a place in local university, there will still be many thousands of students who will be unsuccessful at the A/Ls, or in some cases, who are unable to follow their desired university course due to an insufficient Z-score.

Nishara (St. Bridget’s Convent) has always hoped to enter into a career in the Biomedical field. She joined the MUFY programme after A/Ls.
Nishara felt that the Sri Lankan A/L examination was too competitive as it was designed for the selection of students into local universities. While she performed well in her A/Ls, she knew that she would not be able to find the degree that she wanted in a local university.
“The MUFY syllabus is designed for university study and I found the course structure to be a more effective way of learning and overall, I enjoyed my studies at ANC” says Nishara who is currently pursuing her degree in Medical Bioscience at Monash University Malaysia. |
As for the London A/L students their fate may have been decided for those who have been successful with their examinations. But there will also be students who were not as successful and who feel disheartened believing their chances of obtaining higher education have ended
These students can still hold on to their dreams as Monash University offers a pathway into the most sought after degrees in the world.
The Monash University Foundation Year (MUFY) programme offered by ANC Education in Sri Lanka is designed as an academic bridge between a student’s highest secondary qualification and their preferred destination degree at Monash University. Successful completion of the MUFY programme with the required grades ensures that the student will enter into their Monash degree of choice.
As a member of Australia’s prestigious Group of Eight universities, Monash University has made its mark as a university of high standards for quality and a degree from Monash is a student’s first step towards career success. Offering nearly 800 programmes from 10 specialized Faculties, with campuses in Australia, Malaysia and South Africa a student is provided a range of opportunities with Monash.
Students further have the option to commence most degrees locally at ANC thereby making a substantial cost-saving and allowing certain degrees to be completed for as low at US$ 30,000^.
The MUFY programme offers subjects tailored to take the student to his or her degree of choice. What makes MUFY different from Sri Lankan A/Ls is that while A/Ls are based on a syllabus spread over 2 years and one final examination, the MUFY syllabus is divided into 2 semesters with examinations at the end of the semester and a student’s overall grade determined by the cumulative average of performance in both semesters. Even for a London A/Level student who has had exams at the end of each year the time period for a MUFY semester is just 4 months which provides a student a more focused syllabus to deal with. Emphasis is also placed on the teaching of academic style English bringing students up to the expected standards in international universities.
The interactive course structure which emphasizes both internal and exam-based assessment mirrors the university-style system of learning so that the student not just progresses to a desired degree but is also equipped with the necessary skills to cope with university education. We also have a highly qualified faculty who maintain the Monash standards in terms of delivery and pass rates. Hence don’t miss this opportunity to enable your child to enter a world-class university. For more information please contact 0777 44 99 55. Enrolments are now on for the February 2012 intake.
