Why GISM?
GISM’s key goal is to open doors to Sri Lankan students with world-class higher education qualifications from renowned countries at a reasonable price. GISM President Dr.Senaratne emphasises that the key goal of his institute is to provide knowledge and necessary training for studying the subsequent year in New Zealand and also for them to be adjusted easily to University environment and the country’s life style.
Aiming to make the transition as smooth as possible, GISM offers free of charge orientation programmes which empower the students to bridge the gap they encounter living in a totally different environment. All the members of the Board of Directors of GISM are dual citizens of New Zealand & Sri Lanka. They share their international exposure with new students at these orientation programs and educate them on New Zealand’s history and living style, real world problem solving,and academic writing & communication skill development.
With the Degree Pathway Arrangement, students can study their first year or first two years in Sri Lanka at GISM and move to Massey University to complete their degree. This is possible due to the Articulation Credit Transfer Programme through which students earn credits which must be equivalent to the credits offered in the relevant year/s of the overseas University. These credits are then transferred once they move to a university in New Zealand or the United Kingdom and therefore there will not be any effect on the recognition of the qualification that the students gain from overseas University.
After completing their bachelor’s degree, GISM students receive a special 15% discount should they decide to continue with their Master Degree programme. Also, there is an opportunity for the students to be accompanied by their families when they go to New Zealand for master-level courses. Post completion, students can apply for a work visa. Upon finding a permanent job offer in New Zealand they will be qualified to apply for a permanent resident’s visa.
Who will benefit?
Students who have just finished the G.C.E. A/L exams can directly enter and continue
Due to current Covid restrictions, the border restriction still remains for New Zealand. GISM pathway students can study some of the programmes in Sri Lanka for these degrees and, once the entry permission is given, these students may travel to continue their studies in New Zealand.
