Adapting to meet the changing world
In addition to the state-of-the-art facilities located in the heart of Colombo and Kandy, NCHS is also proud to offer online education on par with physical lectures.
“We were quick to act as we were able to use the most up-to-date online learning platforms in association with our affiliated universities.” stated Dr Alan Robertson, Dean of Studies, Nawaloka College of Higher Studies.
As the world is disrupted due to the covid- 19 pandemic, Nawaloka College is determined that their students do not face any disadvantages and are not left behind. The college strives to maintain its timelines, so that the students will be able to complete their education without additional delays.
“Our students quickly organised themselves to attend the online sessions. Lecturers have adapted their teaching strategies accordingly. In addition to lectures, they ensure that student questions can be addressed during the online sessions. Students have been very active to interact between themselves in relation to group activities such as projects, presentations and team-based assignments” Dr. Robertson explained.
“Students have expressed a high degree of satisfaction with the online teaching and have indicated their appreciation for the hard work of our teaching and administrative staff in making the transition to online learning both quick and effective” Dr. Robertson said.
The best of both Sri Lanka and Australia
“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” explained Senal Ranaweera who transferred to Melbourne in order to complete his degree in International Business.
Tailor Made Study Programs
The study programmes conducted at NCHS are identical to that of Swinburne, Australia and USA which 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.
