Graduate at 20, degree after O/Levels

ANC delivers internationally recognised internal university degree programs by partnering with some of the most renowned universities in the world. ANC is an ideal gateway for students who wish to enrol in a degree program right after GCE Ordinary Levels (O/Levels).

Many students select GCE Advanced Levels (A/Levels) hoping to gain admission to local universities. But they are unaware of other opportunities to obtain a quality university degree. Therefore, they continue on, in the path of A/Levels, which takes three years.

However, due to the extremely competitive nature, only a handful of students (about 9% of the students who sit for A/Levels) get admission. The balance 91%, are left to repeat A/Levels. However, there are internationally accepted alternatives for A/Levels available for students. And from these options an American degree after O/Levels ranks as the best option.

ANC’s partner universities include Monash University in Australia, University of West London in UK, Missouri University of Science and Technology (Missouri S&T) and Northwood University in USA. The degree completion programs, offered at ANC includes a variety of degrees in the fields of Business Management, IT, Psychology and Pre-Medicine.

Missouri S&T has a history that spans over 140 years. It is known as one of the best public universities in the United States and is among the top 50 best value colleges based on academics, financial aid and cost of attendance according to the recently published Princeton Review rankings.

Students in Sri Lanka can also become part of this value adding educational experience as ANC offers three degree programs of Missouri S&T right here in Sri Lanka. They are Bachelor of Science in Psychology (also available with pre-med emphasis) Bachelor of Arts in Psychology and Bachelor of Science in Information Science and Technology.

Northwood University USA has three campuses in US situated in Michigan, Texas and Florida. Northwood is considered as a world leader in business education. Established more than 50 years ago, it is making remarkable strides in redefining business education while creating future leaders globally.

The degrees of Northwood University offered through ANC include international business, marketing, finance, management, information systems, entrepreneurship, hotel, restaurant and resort management, economics, advertising and marketing and fashion, marketing and management.

Students enrolled at ANC have two options to complete their American degree. The total degree can be completed with 20% of the cost (saving about Rs.12 million) within four years. Students have the option of transferring for the final year to the respective partner universities with a scholarship based on academic merit.

Finishing the final year in USA will also provide students with the opportunity of doing OPT (optional practical training) that would enable them to gain work experience in USA. Students can even choose to complete the degree in three years as ANC offers the full range of classes during the summer semester as well.

By joining ANC, students as well as parents will save three years of time, money and effort that they otherwise put towards A/Levels. Parents and students need to understand the opportunity cost involved in doing A/Levels.

ANC probably offers the best option to start a degree immediately after O/Levels. Furthermore, ANC maintains the same academic quality and standards as their partner universities such as Monash University and Missouri S&T.

ANC is equipped with a state-of-the-art facility that has science labs, lounge areas and classrooms to facilitate the learning experience for students. Final grades are based on not only the final examination but also on assessments, presentations and participation of students. Therefore, the education experience at ANC is both interactive and student friendly.
