The large number of private universities and institutions in Sri Lanka that offer foreign degree or equivalent qualifications call the students and parents to be more concerned in their university programme selection.

The following paragraphs will take you through the most important factors to consider in selecting your university degree.

What is the ranking of degree awarding university in its home country?

Degree awarding universities of most private education providers in Sri Lanka are based overseas. Some of these universities are well below the accepted level of ranking in their home countries. In order to make an informed decision Sri Lankan degree seeking students and parents must refer globally recognized university rankings such as Times Higher Education ranking and US News and World Report.

What are the academic quality assurances?

Degrees awarded locally by these foreign universities must be identical to those granted by the partner universities, and they should be accredited through the relevant accreditation bodies. The partner universities should conduct regular audits and assure equal academic and infrastructural standards.

Who will teach you?

Most of the foreign qualifications offered in Sri Lanka are taught by local lecturers without relevant foreign exposure. This prevents students benefiting from complete international education experience. Furthermore in many institution it's common practice to see majority of faculty members with basic professional or academic qualifications teaching areas outside of their sphere of expertise.

Quality of the students and their values?

A proper understanding of local values and the ability to understand local, regional and global issues through international education is an essential quality in the job market. Furthermore it's very important to know the calibre of other students who will be with you in the same class.

What are the job prospects for graduates?

The true meaning of university education goes beyond examinations and project assignments. Employers today need graduates with multiple skills who can start with minimum training. This is even more valid for regional and global employment where only the very best gets selected for top jobs.

Are you getting real value for money?

It's sad to see many parents and students wasting millions of rupees due to the lack of knowledge in their education decision making. As rightful consumers parents and students have a right to question whether they get full value for their education investment.
