For the first time in Sri Lanka – An MBA in IT
View(s):ESOFT has entered into collaboration with the Buckinghamshire New University, UK to offer, for the first time in Sri Lanka, a MBA in IT. The attraction of this qualification is the fact that it was introduced based on the ground reality that there are many ICT professionals that sometimes get stuck in their field due to not having the required business and management skills. The partner University is recognized by the UGC and worldwide.
Those that have already completed their B.Sc / B.A / BIT Degrees in IT or Computing or a similar field or have professional qualifications such as BCS HEQ, CIM, or CIMA, or those with relevant work experience can now enrol for this programme and see their career prospects reach new heights.
Dr. Dayan Rajapakse is the CEO of ESOFT, and he had the following to say, when we asked for a few words on the occasion of the launch.
“ESOFT is proud to offer this programme. It provides the opportunity for academic and professional advancement and will be value for money. You would also be getting a qualification that is unique in itself because compared to a normal MBA which is one sided, this qualification is dual edged, covering both Business and IT. It would be a sought-after qualification by employers.”
Classes will commence in November in Colombo and Kandy and intakes are limited to only 40 students per batch.
The MBA will have two semesters of learning followed by an extra semester for the research and dissertation. The course fee is payable in installments and is only Rs. 150,000 with the University fees being paid separately. Those with BCS, B.Sc, BIT, BA, CIM, CIMA qualifications can apply. As a special incentive, those that pay in full will get Rs. 50,000 off from the course fee or can get a Brand New Samsung Galaxy Tab which is worth even more. Application deadline has been set as 31st October 2012.
ESOFT leads the market for Professional ICT qualifications due to the market-share it enjoys for the BCS Examinations in IT and also leads the market for the BIT Degrees of the University of Colombo and the University of Moratuwa. The respect that it has earned from the industry and from customers leads us to introduce innovative new products to take Sri Lanka to the forefront.
