As the first Sri Lankan education institute to offer the NCUK IFY—a uniquely positioned, world-recognised London A/L equivalent qualification that is designed to make the transition from secondary education and tertiary education seamless—APIIT takes pride in broadening the academic opportunities of prospective students who have completed their O/L examinations, by creating a pathway to NCUK partner universities across the world, with a choice to study one of thousands of different degree courses available. With a curriculum designed in collaboration with NCUK partner universities, the NCUK IFY combines high academic standards with language and study skills which transforms students into self-sufficient independent learners, ready to successfully face university life.
Addressing the graduates and their parents at the gathering, Chairman, Mr. Bandula Egodage emphasised how APIIT once again has revolutionised the higher education landscape of Sri Lanka by creating an alternative entry path to higher education around the world for Sri Lankan students.. He stressed that, “with fifty-six (56) graduating students securing places in universities of their choice within a year after their O/L examinations, we at APIIT are truly honoured and humbled that we were able to broaden higher educational avenues for our beloved students.”
APIIT is committed to our purpose of igniting a passion for the intrinsic value of learning and, therefore, takes pride in recognising students not just for their academic achievements but also for their social and moral values. Addressing the gathering, Mr Adheeb Ikthar, a graduating student accepted for a Bachelor’s Degree in Engineering at University of London said, “Following the NCUK IFY at APIIT was truly a life changing experience because it not only equipped me with the knowledge and confidence to excel in my undergraduate studies by supporting me to integrate rapidly into a university environment, but also taught me a lot about being an empathetic future leader who will nurture and uplift lives of others.”
The event further marked the launch of the NCUK International Year One (IYOne) to students who have completed their A/L examinations or equivalent. The NCUK International Year One is a first-year undergraduate programme that builds students’ knowledge and skills which prepares and qualifies students for entry to the second year of undergraduate studies. This unique programme would allow students to be eligible for the 2nd year of, not only one, but numerous undergraduate degree programmes offered by NCUK partner universities.
