The University of West London (UWL) has officially launched its Branch Campus in Sri Lanka, marking a new chapter in UK–Sri Lanka higher-education collaboration. The launch ceremony was attended by His Excellency Andrew Patrick, the British High Commissioner to Sri Lanka, underscoring the importance of this initiative to both countries.
The new branch campus, operated in partnership with ANC Education, extends UWL’s decade-long presence in Sri Lanka. Since 2013, the partnership between ANC Education and UWL has enabled over 5,000 Sri Lankan students to earn UWL degrees in disciplines including Business, Law, and Psychology. The cost of degree programmes offered through the UWL Branch Campus in Sri Lanka will be significantly lower than pursuing the same programmes in the UK, thereby providing Sri Lankan students with greater financial viability.
Under the branch-campus model, students will gain direct enrolment with University of West London, ensuring access to the University’s academic standards, qualifications and global networks while studying locally. The campus will expand provision to also include Data Science, Artificial Intelligence, Cybersecurity, Sustainability and Biosciences, aligning programmes with Sri Lanka’s National Vision for skills and knowledge development.
