MBA program was founded in 1998 at the Postgraduate Institute of Agriculture of University of Peradeniya in collaboration with the University of Stirling, UK, supported by the Higher Education Link Programme of the British Council.

Peradeniya MBA places great emphasis on theoretical knowledge and research. The program is thus considered an intellectually demanding qualification and one of the most prestigious MBAs in Sri Lanka. The programme provides a totally immersive learning experience to students. This MBA has also been recognised as equivalent to that of Western MBAs for migration and overseas employment purposes. It is remarkable that this status is enjoyed only by a handful of other Master’s programs offered in Sri Lanka.

One of the key innovations in the Peradeniya MBA program is the student-led MBA Association (MBAA), which significantly empowers students to have far-reaching impact and influence over the program. In essence, the MBAA gives students the power and the real world exposure to develop, fund, and manage initiatives that can truly transform the MBA program, and their professional lives. It also organises events that bring much needed entertainment to students and staff and has been involved with social service projects as well. It is not only about studies, it is also about performing together and gaining experience while relishing. MBA night is one such annual event.

MBA Association of University of Peradeniya is planning to host its annual calendar the ‘MBA Night’ in grand style. An event that adds more colour to the MBA program with the key focus being the reinforcement of the relationship among lecturers, alumnus and students in an entertaining manner. It is a night that brings the past memories to present and facilitates an experience sharing and networking among the Alumnus and present students.

This time, MBA Night is all set to happen on 19 November (Saturday) at the Earl’s Regency Hotel, Kandy, 6:30 p.m. onwards. This grand occasion will be graced by the presence of Nissanga Warnapura (Chief Innovation Officer of Hela Clothing Co. Ltd). The launch of the ‘Inspire’ Magazine under the theme of ‘Headship through Innovation’, comprising articles of utmost value and substance, will be a notable feature at the function.

The MBA Association hereby takes the privilege of inviting all of you to be a part of this grand event which they reckon would be a memorable evening.
