IIHE offers undergraduate and post graduate programs that are both locally and globally recognised and has a proud history of providing quality British Education for 17 years in Sri Lanka, offering internal degrees from the prestigious University of Wales UK.
“The decision to select the Wales MBA at IIHE was the best strategic move I’ve made when aspiring to elevate my career to a higher level. I am indeed proud to be an alumnus of probably the most challenging, yet rewarding MBA offered in Sri Lanka,” said Colombo Stock Exchange Director Ray Abeywardana. This is just one of many success stories created every day by IIHE MBA students.

This is the level of global recognition MBA Alumni members from Wales possess.

One such corporate leader is Dinesh Perera a Chief Executive Officer at a leading Pharmaceutical Company who now works and resides in Australia, who had this to share about his IIHE MBA experience. “I constantly draw on the learning I attained from the Wales MBA. In particular, the Strategic Management, and Corporate Finance modules along with the Dissertation gave me an opportunity to become a strategic thinker as the CEO of my company. Unlike other MBA programs in Sri Lanka, Wales MBA provided a richer learning experience and a vibrant learning environment as most students were seasoned professionals who came from different industry sectors with wealth of experience. This experience I gained cannot be measured in monetary terms.”
He further stated: “The MBA has definitely increased the number of opportunities for me to move into diverse areas of business and areas that may not have been offered to me previously. Due to the MBA from Wales, a ‘State Sponsored Migration Opportunity’ was granted to my family in Australia. Needless to say, this demonstrates the global recognition for IIHE MBA from Wales.”
