Monday 05th September 2022, Colombo: In recognition of the outstanding performance at the recently held GCE Advanced Level examinations, ESOFT has decided to offer the internationally recognised PEARSON BTEC HND with a full scholarship to the island’s top rankers in their respective streams – Physical Science (Maths), Biological Science, Bio Technology, Engineering Technology, Arts and Commerce. With a futuristic vision to empower aspiring and talented students, this initiative by ESOFT is to offer the top-rankers a holistic learning experience with a UK HND undergraduate programme.

This will be vastly different from the mainstream local university degree and be an eye-opener to international education. As the PLATINUM PARTNER for PEARSON in Sri Lanka, ESOFT’s PEARSON BTEC HND programmes of 18 months will be offered in the Computing and Business Management streams as a full scholarship. The island top-rankers can choose their preferred area of study from the two options and ESOFT allows successful completion of the course via online, part-time, modular basis or by attending classes at the campus. The extended flexibility is to ensure that the HND programme does not hinder their local university degree but rather supplements and enhances their overall learning.

The HND programme will help groom the students with language proficiency, presentation skills, managerial skills, entrepreneurial outlook and other related soft skills to make them geared to face the corporate world and take on challenges. In addition to completing the HND programme, the student can also top it off with a degree later on. The overall objective is to ensure that the student receives a well-rounded international qualification that assures personal and career growth. The PEARSON HND programmes are curated by a team of eminent academia and industry experts with updated syllabus content.

This ensures the students receive sound theoretical, practical and analytical knowledge in each subject. As the next stepping stone in a student’s higher education journey, the HND programme is apt for front-runners who want an internationally recognised qualification and a whole new experience. ESOFT is founded on the principle to encourage innovation, learning and career empowerment to aspiring students who are capable of providing the necessary leadership to overcome challenges.

The full scholarship of the PEARSON BTEC HND programmes to the select island toppers is offered with this in mind and to create versatile and multifaceted professionals and leaders. As a game-changer and pioneer in higher education, ESOFT continues to break traditional learning boundaries and explore further beyond. Taking pride in empowering students and creating future leaders for over two decades, ESOFT expands the horizon of quality higher education on par with international universities.
