CIRP is affiliated to the University of Hertfordshire in UK.It is presently one of the top modern British Universities holding one of the largest schools of psychology in the country. With a student body of almost 25,000 students, the University has been recognized for maintaining a high standard of quality education. The University of Hertfordshire has been shortlisted twice in a row in 2008 and 2009 for the ‘University of the Year’ award .It was awarded the ‘Entrepreneurial University of the year’ in 2010. With CIRP’s affiliation to this well-established University, students now have an opportunity to complete a British B.Sc in psychology right here in Sri Lanka. This is a great chance for those interested to not only get an international qualification from a top class University in UK, but to also receive it at a fraction of the cost.
In the current social and economic context where a degree is a mere stepping-stone and a basic requirement for achieving what one might want, more are realizing that to shine above the rest, to be set apart from being average and for getting the upper hand at a job 
interview, further qualifications are essential. To cater to this growing demand with respect to psychology, CIRP joined hands with Coventry University in UK to provide two masters programs; MSc in psychology and MSc in Applied psychology.
Coventry University in UK is one of the upcoming modern universities in the UK.It has won many awards from professional bodies in the UK itself and internationally as well. In 2011 it was in the top 20 universities for teaching excellence, according to the Times University Guide. This same body awarded them as the ‘Entrepreneurial University of the Year” in the same year. Further, the Guardian University Guide ranked them as one of the top ten universities with the highest positive feedback from students in the year 2013.
Once again, this partnership with Coventry University and CIRP has paved the way for an internal post-graduate degree with a foreign qualification to be completed right here in Sri Lanka . With an excellent body of academic and administrative staff along with CIRP’s state of the art facilities such as an interactive online student portal, IT labs and well stocked library providing a wealth of resouces, students have the opportunity to have a fulfilled quality education.
