When exams are over, options used to include staying in Sri Lanka, going abroad or getting a job. Taking a gap year was also a possibility. However, as 2021 dawns, the only priority is to keep safe.

Online education has taken the world by storm, as it has proved to be the only way to move forward during the pandemic. With physical classes still being erratic, and quarantine and lockdown happening sporadically across the world, the best solution is to begin a degree from home.

However, finding the right university which has the right fit is often a challenge. With the booming education industry, the number of universities and institutes offering degree programmes is numerous. The below points will provide a starting point to the journey.

Recognition of the Degree

While most private universities in Sri Lanka claim foreign affiliations from the ‘best’ university with the ‘highest ranking’, the credibility of the local partner is often questionable. Find out as to how old the local partner university is, who is on the management team, information on the lecture panel and facilities. Ensure that both the local university, as well as the foreign affiliation, has credibility and global acceptance.

Infrastructure and support 

Currently, what is essential is the status and readiness of the university to deliver lessons online. Check on the online platforms used, the frequency of classes and how notes are disseminated. An online library is a useful tool as well. Smaller classes ensure that online learning is more successful. Therefore, ask about this too!

However, we all hope that we will be able to restart physical classes soon. So, don’t forget to inquire about the physical facilities and resources too.

Budget

In education too, it is important to ‘cut the coat according to the cloth’. Identify your budget and match this with a university within your price range. While the facilities may differ as per the university and programme, monetary support is often within range. Find out as to what benefits the university has such as scholarships, subsidiaries and loan schemes.

The Nawaloka College of Higher studies

The Nawaloka College of Higher studies (NCHS) is a provider of globally recognised higher education qualifications. The brand name ‘Nawaloka’  is synonymous with reliability and credibility, as it has proved itself through decades in the health care sector.  Located in the heart of Colombo and in Kandy the NCHS campus consists of modern facilities, providing students with a learning environment on par with international standards.  With a strong commitment to provide high quality education, NCHS offers distinctive benefits that are tailor made to suit the needs of each individual student.

Global Partnerships

NCHS has partnered with the global leaders in education, the Swinburne University of Technology, Ulster University, UK as well as the   California State University Monterey Bay, California State University San Marcos, California State University Bakersfield, California State University Sacramento, California State University Northridge, California State University Fresno, California State University Humboldt and the State University of New York at Albany, State University of New York- Empire State College, University System of Maryland, University of Kentucky , Sweet Briar College , Florida International University. This enables NCHS  to offer a plethora of subjects to the students.

“As NCHS is an affiliated college you are basically students at Swinburne, but you have the advantage of getting more help with your studies with one-on-one help from the excellent teaching staff and the smaller classrooms. This also means that you have full access to the canvas online system from the start. All of this helps to make the transition as smooth as it can be” said Senal Ranaweera who transferred to Melbourne in order to complete his degree in International Business.

Tailor Made Study Programmes

At NCHS, students enjoy smaller classes, focused learning and one-on-one time with the teachers, giving every opportunity to succeed in studies.

The study programmes conducted at NCHS are identical to that of Swinburne, Australia and Cal State and follow the same curriculum, methods of teaching and evaluations, ensuring high quality and international standards. These identical industry-informed and industry-engaged study programmes at NCHS are specially designed to combine rigorous academic studies with practical knowledge essential for the academic and career success of the students.
