Start your Canadian Higher Education at UCL and Transfer to Canada

Happy Canada Day to all Canadians around the world! It’s the National day of Canada, a federal statutory holiday, celebrated with exuberant parades, carnivals and fireworks throughout the country on the 1st of July every year. This year also commemorates the 155th anniversary of Canada since the passing of the Constitution Act in 1867, which is a significant day in history when the three separate colonies of the Province of Canada, Nova Scotia, and New Brunswick become united under the single nation of Canada under one flag.

We celebrate this momentous day with all our students at UCL, and we would like to extend our warmest wishes to our university partners, colleagues and students celebrating Canada Day.

Gihan Silva, Chief Executive Officer of Universal College Lanka expressed his warm wishes to all the Canadians and our partner Universities. “Happy Canada Day to all Canadians and to our colleagues at Dalhousie University as you celebrate the 155th Anniversary of Canadian Confederation. As Sri Lanka’s premier transnational higher education provider, UCL is proud to establish a trailblazing partnership with the top ranked Dalhousie University in Canada to offer the very first 2+2 Canadian Degree in Sri Lanka.”

Join Canadian Transfer Pathway with O/ levels or A/ Ls

On this special occasion we are excited to introduce our Newest Canadian Degree Transfer Programme with our exclusive university partner, the prestigious Dalhousie University, Canada. The programme will offer the very first and only Canadian transfer pathway in the country that students have the opportunity to join with their O/levels or A/Ls .

Students with O/levels can now get into the Foundation programme offered in Sri Lanka at UCL. The Foundation programme will provide direct entry into the 2+2 Canadian degree programme for the Bachelor of Science degree in Computer Science and Applied Computer Science (BS) which offers a guaranteed pathway to smoothly transfer to top ranked Dalhousie University, Canada.

Discerning students in Sri Lanka and the region would have the privilege of an authentic Canadian higher education experience in Sri Lanka at UCL prior to progressing to the parent university in Canada to complete their degree and become globally sought- after IT graduates and professionals.

The 2+2 Canadian Degree Transfer

programme is the first and only program in Sri Lanka that offers a direct pathway to study at a top ranked university in Canada. UCL Students have the exclusive opportunity to undertake the first two years of the Bachelor of Computer Science or Bachelor of Applied Computer Science Degree programmes offered directly by Dalhousie University Canada. Upon successful completion, students gain entry into the 3rd year of the respective degree programme at Dalhousie University which offers a smooth transfer process and considerable cost saving of more than Rs. 15 Million.

Speaking at the occasion, Dr. Dhananjay Kulkarni, Dean of Academic Affairs of UCL stated, “This is a dawn of new beginnings in higher education for Sri Lanka! With an established trackrecord of Academic Excellence, UCL will be delivering Canadian curriculum in an exclusive partnership with one of the best Universities in Canada, which is also a globally ranked top-100 University. We believe that the destination city is also key for success of pathway programmes. Being voted as one of the most livable cities in Canada, Halifax will prove to be a city of promises for students to study, work and live in Canada. I am confident that Sri Lankan students will have an enriching and career-defining experience at Dal.

About the curriculum and support available to students at UCL, Dr. Dhananjay added, “The first 2 years at UCL will provide a solid foundation for students to excel at Dalhousie University. The cutting-edge, modern curriculum with emphasis on industry-oriented skills are what students require to start their careers. UCL is confident of maintaining the highest international standards, providing students a very Canadian University-like experience and high student satisfaction. All subjects taught, assessments, student support and delivery methods will be closely linked with Dalhousie. I believe maintaining these high standards and unique learning experiences will set our students apart from others. Twos of study at UCL will boost their confidence doing well and in keeping the Sri Lanka flag flying high. I am extremely delighted to be part of this journey at UCL. I invite all students who aspire to study in Canada to come and meet us.
