Imperial Institute of Higher Education (IIHE) is one of the foremost private tertiary education institutions in the country who are dedicated to offer only the best in class higher education opportunities to students in Sri Lanka.

IIHE is DIRECTLY associated with the University of Wales, UK to offer degrees in Business, Software Engineering and MBA. It has introduced Edexcel BTEC National Diploma in Business (NDB), which is not just another ‘foundation course’ available in the market, but a globally recognized university entrance qualification.

Most institutions offering ‘foundation courses’ in the market today are accepted ONLY within their respective institutions or universities. If a student wishes to enter other universities, such qualifications may not be accepted and would need to spend almost the same amount of money and follow other courses to gain acceptance to other University programmes. This is what makes the NDB offered at IIHE, a genuine alternative to A/Ls. The NDB offered at IIHE is accepted at almost all UK based University and many commonwealth country universities, making this a truly global pathway for students seeking international qualifications.

In Dr. Thilaka Weerakoons’ (CEO/Academic Director – IIHE) view; a university requires A/Ls or recognized alternative qualifications to ensure that students can successfully complete the Degree they enter. Therefore their entry qualification is the foundation which the Degree is built upon. Short duration foundation courses without proper structure and adequate contact hours are not the best way to achieve a good foundation for a successful degree experience. The Edexel BTEC NDB is a proven and accepted qualification by almost all UK based universities and universities in the Commonwealth.

Edexcel, a Pearson company, is UK's largest awarding body offering academic and vocational qualifications and testing to schools, colleges, employers and other places of learning in UK and internationally.
