From A/L to Masters: Internationally recognised seamless pathway now at HRMI
View(s):Human Resource Management Institute (HRMI) provides a seamless step-by-step pathway to enable an Advanced Level student to pursue a Bachelor’s or a Master’s Degree in HR, Management or Business Administration under one roof. Parents of children who wish to pursue a professional course or a degree in HR or Management would be relieved to know that internationally recognised degrees and diplomas are now available in Sri Lanka with HRMI.
Students with at least 2 subjects at Advanced Level and interested in pursuing a degree programme have the opportunity of following the globally recognised Edexcel BTEC Higher National Diploma in Business in Management or HRM, a 2 year course of studies. The Edexcel HND provides direct entry to Edexcel Level 7 Pre-Masters which is a Post Graduate Qualification equivalent to the first year of a 2 year MBA (Master of Business Administration).
If a student has 2 credits in any stream in A/Ls with a Credit for English at O/Ls, he or she can follow the top-ranked prestigious BSc Business Administration degree from University of London. This is the highest ranked British Business Administration degree ever to be done in Sri Lanka. A spokesman for HRMI said that there is a great interest amongst parents about this highly sought after British degree as this BSc Business Administration come with 3 specialised pathways, viz: International Business, Human Resource Management and Marketing. Mr Sashi Weerasinghe who was present at the recently concluded Edex exhibition observed that the price tag on the BSc Business Administration programme was an absolute investment as the same degree would have cost ten times more in UK. The local course fee only comes to Rs. 10,000 a month and the University fees is under Rs. 300,000 a year, which could also be paid in instalments. Replying to this correspondent’s question, Mr Weerasinghe said, “Why settle for lower ranked degrees and pay more when the best of Britain is made available at your door step at an incredible price”
Apart from the degree programmes, HRMI also offers a 2-year Diploma which comes with a guaranteed employment opportunity and an internship. Students with O/L can directly enter into the 2-year Diploma and receive comprehensive IT training and a Diploma in Business English at no extra cost.
Nirosha Perera, a student at HRMI speaking to our correspondent explained her reasoning for enrolling on the HRMI courses. ‘I am here because HRMI provides a total package, professional qualification, Business English, IT, an internship and finaly an executive job guaranteed. Nowhere else this is done’.
