HND in Biotechnology
The programme is based on empowering the tenure “Human resources will be the foundation for creating a prosperous country. Therefore, human resource development will be primary resopnsibility of our government.” (Saubagya Dakma 2020)
Forward March for a fruitful human capital - has become the motto of the era and to make it a reality the Sri Lanka Foundation (SLF) along with Lincoln university College (LUC) has launched programs to harvest products of quality education for a better nation. Hence, SLF has taken the pride of sharing the vision of the government towards developing a human capital through quality education by practicing the norm of “Quality Education” aligning with 17 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) of United Nations.
“We would like to create an environment for students to have access to quality education at an affordable cost, subsequent employment and be a graduate through their own efforts” (Ms.Champika Amarasinghe – Chairman, SLF).
“Competencies and entrepreneurship would be the key for generating foreign employment and various revenue models, and Sri Lanka as a nation needs to secure foreign revenue by producing skilled human capital.” (Prof Dr. Amiya Bhaumik — President LUC)
SLF and LUC will jointly offer qualification which enable the students to acquire an academic recognition not only accepted in Sri Lanka but also recognized internationally for employment & higher education. Further Lincoln University College Malaysia will grant students a special scholarship and guaranteed credit transfer from HND to degree programs in Sri Lanka or Malaysia.
