A cocktail reception held in Westminster House, Colombo was the official launch of the programme, which is run by Northumbria University’s Newcastle Business School.

Commenting on this exciting development, Professor Craig Mahoney, Deputy Vice Chancellor of Northumbria University said;

“I am delighted that Northumbria University’s Newcastle Business School is now offering the BA (Hons) Leadership and Management in Sri Lanka. This completion award is an innovative work based degree programme delivered over one year in Sri Lanka and supported by staff from Northumbria University. 

Northumbria University has been working extensively across Sri Lanka for many years and is constantly looking at ways to develop new links and further strengthen existing ones, providing greater opportunities for Sri Lankan students to access UK university education.”


The programme was developed for the Sri Lankan market with the support and advice of Northumbria University’s local representative, Business Management School in Sri Lanka.
