A few of Our Success Stories

Ms Nimasha Sirinaga is a Graduand from MBA Logistics Management in year 2022. She says;

“I’m happy I chose KDU for my postgraduate programme. The expert professors at KDU helped me finish my MBA in Logistics Management, and I was fortunate to earn the prize for the best overall performance. It was a beautiful experience that I truly loved.

Due to its solid reputation in Sri Lanka and overseas as well as the fact that its course material includes all of the crucial aspects of logistics and supply chain, the KDU was without a doubt the finest option when compared to its rivals for an MBA in logistics or supply chain. I can now think critically and rationally a lot more because of the high caliber of the information. This gives me comfort since I know that my professors are concerned about my well-being and want me to succeed in obtaining my degree.

We were able to increase our knowledge by including physical tests with the group and individual projects. Group initiatives and presentations also provided us with additional chances to shape ourselves to meet market demands. The most difficult component of the MBA, the research study, was completed under the right supervision of knowledgeable supervisors from topic selection to submission.

I thus urge all motivated applicants to apply to KDU in order to benefit from a fantastic academic environment for expanding their knowledge. I wish you nothing but the best.”

Mr Hirantha Sandalu Wijesinghe is a Graduand from Master of Science in Security and Strategic Studies in year 2022. He says;

“The two years spent in the Faculty of Graduate Studies (FGS), General Sir John Kotelawala Defence University, were undoubtedly difficult but beneficial. The Master of Science in Security and Strategic Studies (MSc(SS)), a very thorough curriculum in its nature, significantly improved my thinking, talents, and understanding on both a personal and professional level. The wide range of exposure and experiences shared by highly regarded academics with years of expertise during the programme speaks eloquently about the caliber and inspiration this programme offers to anybody aiming for a valuable master’s degree.

Top academics, well-known researchers, senior government officials, and national security strategists have all graduated from this school and are now employed by notable institutions both domestically and abroad. The curriculum has a well-established track record in the industry, and I heartily suggest it to anybody who wants to deepen their understanding of security, strategic studies, and international relations. The MSc(SS) programme provided by FGS is an excellent choice; it significantly improved my career trajectory and is among my finest investments. More over we can enjoy the pleasant learning environment at KDU with a peace of mind with KDU’s flexibility in course fee payments in installments.”
