Through its varioustransfer and direct placement programmes, ANC helpsstudents to pursue their academic and professional dreams in leading Australian Universities. The ANC UNIVERSITY FOUNDATION PROGRAMME, commonly known as UFP is the most popular and relevantpathway programmein Sri Lanka at present.Theobjective of ANC‘s foundation programis to broaden the opportunities of the local student who is traditionally inclined to pursue their A/levels and later a main stream degree. The foundation program also intendsto encourage students to gain a smooth transition into the changes that come with transferring to a foreign University for higher studies. As local norms have very rigid do’s and don’ts to young students it is often observed that they experience what some may call a‘’culture shock’ which might hinder their progress in academics and well-being as a whole,the Foundation program prepares the student to face such challenges with their internationally recognized curriculum. The syllabus is designed in such a way that their soft skills are developed by teaching them to do presentations, research analysis and much more. There are only limited avenues of study one can pursue in Sri Lanka, it is inevitable that a considerable number of students opt to pursue their studies overseas and it is commendable on the part of ANC to have a curriculum that supportstheir requirements.

PamudiSanali(Diploma in Business) University of Western Sydney

THE IELTS programme is a great addition to the programme and it’s free of charge here. I would recommend the Foundation and Diploma programs to anybody looking at long term opportunities in Australia.

Sanil Perera(Foundation Science) La Trobe Melbourne

I am happy and I had the confidence to choose this path. Now I will be graduating a whole year ahead of my friends at school.

Thayamie (Diploma in Business) Deakin University

Many are reluctant to pursue higher education as they are under the impression that private education always comes with a very high cost and many risks involved. I believe it is time to look for avenues beyond the obvious and push through to get what you deserve and ANC is the best choice I made.

AnushiKavindiPeiris (Diploma in Business) Deakin University

The most deciding factor for me was the cost associated with the diploma. I thank ANC for the initiative taken to provide local students the opportunity of experiencing international education right at home and for the continued support with regard to applying for my 2nd year at the Deakin University.

RumalSansika-(Foundation Science) La Trobe Melbourne

A 10 month course did not mean that we cut corners around the curriculum, in fact I would say we gained in depth knowledge in all areas and I am excited to put all this to use.
