Informatics launches University of London external programme

Informatics Institute of Technology (IIT) launched the external programme of the University of London UK, recently. The programme offers undergraduate Honours Degrees in Information Systems, Accounting & Finance, Banking & Finance, Economics and Management and Diploma courses for graduates in Information Systems and Management.

The University of London is one of the oldest, largest and most diverse universities in the UK.
The University has a total student population of 115,000 plus an additional 32,000 on the External Programme. The University has its origins in the 1820s and 1830s with the creation of University College and King’s College. The External Programme manages the majority of the University of London's distance learning courses. It was established in 1858 to make University of London degrees accessible to students who, for one reason or another, could not come to the University to study in the conventional way. Today, there are 32,000 students studying in over 180 countries for more than 100 University of London qualifications.

Informatics Private Limited (IPL) formed the IIT in 1990 and it has truly lived up to its ambitious beginnings and is now involved in the 15th in-take of students. It is also a noteworthy factor that the IIT alumni now numbering well over 700 have demonstrated their academic excellence by holding key positions in Information Technology and the Business Industry locally and in prestigious jobs overseas. This clearly shows that IIT graduates are not only accepted in Sri Lanka but are equipped to compete in the International Market.

Established in 1983, IPL is a leading systems integrator and a software solutions provider in Sri Lanka, as claimed by a Company official. Their strategic business units include Telecom, Insurance, Banking & Finance, Hotel, Government Core Businesses and Retail Industries.
