CINEC Campus partners with UK’s Anglia Ruskin University
View(s):The CINEC Campus entered a new chapter in higher education on August 7 with the launch of its partnership with Anglia Ruskin University, Cambridge, United Kingdom, at a ceremony held at the Shangri La.
British High Commissioner Andrew Patrick hailed CINEC as an institution committed to delivering the best outcomes for students, praising its emphasis on hard sciences, advanced infrastructure, and cutting edge simulators.
He commended the leadership for forging ties with one of the United Kingdom’s most successful universities, noting that such links strengthen people-to-people relations and strategic cooperation between the two countries.
President and Chief Executive Officer of CINEC, Captain Ajith Peiris, joined Pro Vice Chancellor of Anglia Ruskin University Dr Mark Norrich, in unveiling the agreement at its launch. CINEC, celebrating 35 years of academic excellence, and Anglia Ruskin, with over 150 years of history, pledged to jointly advance educational standards and research opportunities.
Reflecting on his visit to CINEC, the High Commissioner recalled being impressed by the atmosphere of focused study and the sophistication of the facilities, including maritime simulators that replicate challenging real world conditions. He stressed the importance of such partnerships in cultivating a new generation of Sri Lankans and British citizens who understand each other’s cultures.
Highlighting broader bilateral ties, he pointed to the United Kingdom’s position as Sri Lanka’s second largest export market, the growth in British tourism to the island, and the enduring contributions of the Sri Lankan diaspora in the UK. He emphasised that private sector institutions like CINEC can complement free education by delivering resources and opportunities that may be challenging to provide in the public sector.
The event brought together government officials, industry leaders, and a strong media presence to witness the collaboration covering 17 graduate and postgraduate programmes in engineering, health sciences, and computing.
