Additionally, OCB is one of the best business schools in Sri Lanka and is also affiliated to many other internationally renowned Universities. To date, the programme has been challenging, and rewarding. The modular structure means that I can apply what I learnt immediately. The lecturers are great and supportive, always open to answer questions or to explain matters further. The members of my cohort come from a wide range of backgrounds; this makes for interesting discussions and lively debates and teaches you that there is always more than one side to an issue. With increasing globalization, it is no longer good enough to rely solely on experience – it is becoming more important to have a professional qualification.
