UK Degrees in Sri Lanka
International recognition, local accessibility
International degree programs at Ceylon Open Campus enable you to earn British university degrees and globally recognized qualifications without leaving Sri Lanka. Through partnerships with prestigious UK universities and international awarding bodies, we deliver the same curriculum, same assessments, and same degree certificates as students studying in Britain - but at a fraction of the cost.
The value proposition is compelling. A three-year degree in the UK costs £40,000-60,000 (LKR 10-15 million) plus living expenses. The identical UK degree earned in Sri Lanka through Ceylon Open Campus costs LKR 500,000-1,000,000 total. You save 80-90% on fees while living at home, yet earn exactly the same internationally recognized qualification.
Your degree certificate is issued by the UK university, not locally. To employers worldwide, you're a UK degree graduate. This opens doors to international employment, global career mobility, further study at international universities, and recognition in countries worldwide that value British educational standards.
Study delivery follows UK academic standards with local convenience. Classes are taught by UK-qualified faculty and visiting lecturers, assessments are moderated by UK universities, and quality assurance ensures you receive education equivalent to on-campus students in Britain. The best of both worlds: international quality, Sri Lankan accessibility.
