Imperial Institute of Higher Education (IIHE) signs up with the Northern Consortium UK (NCUK)
View(s):To offer Sri Lankan Students guaranteed access to universities worldwide
The NCUK International foundation Year holds an eight month in duration, leading to degrees in business and finance and Law. IIHE will conduct workshops and Webinars at their institution to guide students and parents throughout this pathway to transfer opportunities for over 45 universities worldwide. The intake for the NCUK International foundation Year is schedule for commence on 3rd October 2022.
IIHE was incorporated in Sri Lanka in October 1996, as a private tertiary educational institution with the objective of providing undergraduate and postgraduate education at an affordable price, for aspiring students. At IIHE, students can complete prestigious Degrees through internationally affiliated Universities from United Kingdom and Malaysia. IIHE has produced over 1500 Alumni, who are currently holding high positions in Sri Lanka and overseas, in both private and public sector.
Currently Sri Lanka is facing an unsustainable debt. Sri Lankas economic outlook is highly uncertain due to fiscal and external imbalances. This has led to year-on-year National consumer price index to 58.90% by June 2022. Food inflation has increased to 24.7% amongst rising global commodity prices, fuel prices and partial monetization of fiscal deficit. Overall cost of living in Sri Lanka is rapidly accelerating. All above factors have adversely affected the educational industry in Sri Lanka, mainly due to lack of foreign reserves. The declining quality of current education system is caused by limited resources, infrastructure investment and unemployability of graduates is fast looming to be a matter of national concern. Thus, with the opportunities provided by the inclusion of NCUK to IIHE curriculum, there are more options for students to progress to international universities.

At the signing ceremony Mr. Bradley Emerson, Executive Director/Chief Executive said
“Every generation has an obligation to make the next one better and education is probably the only means to improve a generation. At a time when the world is preparing for the fourth revolution, and heading towards a digital economy, we as a nation are obliged to find ways to provide learning opportunities to our children so that they can be competitive in a global playing field. Given the current economic situation in Sri Lanka, our partnership with NCUK not only accelerates but also makes it affordable for our children to obtain their degrees from globally recognized universities. This we believe is the higher purpose of education”
