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
