Gateway Graduate School commences February intake in Colombo, Negombo and Kandy

Gateway Graduate School has opened two new facilities in Negombo and Kandy in addition to its Campus in Colombo in a bid to provide new study opportunities to Sri Lankan youth. Encouraged by the recent success, where once again the organization produced several High Achievers who obtained outstanding results in their Foundation and the First Years of the Degree courses, Gateway has decided to extend their services beyond Colombo.

Gateway Graduate School, in partnership with NCC Education UK, offers a choice of two career pathways to complete Degrees in Computing or Business Administration, here in Sri Lanka. In both Degrees, students are able to receive industrial recognized qualifications – Diplomas and Advanced Diplomas, from NCC Education UK on successful completion of the first and the second years. The courses are offered on both part-time and full-time basis and students have the option of completing the full programme in Sri Lanka or transferring to overseas universities in the UK, USA or Australia at the end of every academic year.

Gateway Graduate School, recently joined hands with the University of Canterbury; New Zealand’s prestigious University that is ranked among the top 2% in the world, to provide structured pathways for students to begin their Undergraduate Degrees in Sri Lanka and graduate in New Zealand.

The University of Canterbury, established in 1873 by scholars of Oxford and Cambridge, has gained an international reputation for academic excellence in teaching and research. Its undergraduate and postgraduate programmes are well recognised worldwide, and aim to foster intellectual independence, critical thinking, and professional excellence in every field.

The tuition and accommodation costs at University of Canterbury are approximately 35% less than in Universities in Australia and the United Kingdom.

The degree programmes which are expected to commence in February 2012 are offered under 4 main disciplines; Engineering, Science, Commerce and Arts. The Engineering (B.E.) courses include Electrical & Electronic, Mechanical, Mechatronics, Computer, Civil, Natural Resources, Forest and Chemical & Process Engineering.

New Zealand is considered to be the third best country to live in the world, climbing 17 places in the latest United Nations’ index.

With a temperate climate and stunning variations in geography - all surrounded by the Pacific and Tasman Oceans – people of New Zealand are happy and hospitable. International students are provided with opportunities to gain work experience and supplement their funds while studying. The students also have the possibility of working in New Zealand after they have completed their studies. Once they have completed their studies in NZ, and obtained a NZ qualification, they may be eligible for a Graduate Job Search Visa that is designed to assist eligible graduates in finding work in New Zealand.

Gateway Graduate School is to offer scholarships to post Advanced Level (both Sri Lankan and London) students who have been successful at ALs but not been able to secure a place at a University in Sri Lanka or abroad.
