New Zealand’s Massey University to enter Sri Lanka’s higher education market
Massey University of New Zealand, which is a leading university with 35,000 domestic students and over 18,000 students offshore/worldwide, has reportedly appointed MTI Consulting to facilitate the market entry process in Sri Lanka.
A media release issued by MTI has quoted Rob Stevens as saying, “Sri Lanka, with a fast growing economy and as a gateway to South Asia, has been identified as a key potential opportunity for Massey’s higher educational and executive education offerings. Massey’s experience in Asia and its wide offerings can help Sri Lanka in developing the country’s core managerial and technical skills.”
Stevens is the General Manager, Massey University Worldwide and the Chief Executive, Massey Global Ltd.
Massey currently has formal international agreements with more than 200 institutions worldwide which include Foundation programmes, Pathway programmes, Undergraduate and postgraduate programmes, Home-government scholarships, Study abroad and student and staff exchange relationships, Transnational online and blended education delivery and Research collaborations.
Currently international pathway programmes are available in China, Vietnam, Malaysia, Indonesia and Thailand.
According to reports, in Sri Lanka Massey is exploring three delivery routes i.e. face-to-face via fly in and fly out teaching, fully online and a blend of both face-to-face and online.
OSL take:
Sri Lanka’s higher education sector is fast becoming a hotspot for business investments for foreign education institutions. Therefore foreign educational institutions could explore business opportunities in Sri Lanka’s higher education sector.
