UCL has established itself as a benchmark in higher education by collaborating with world-ranked universities such as Monash University Australia, University of Central Lancashire, UK, and Dalhousie University, Canada, to provide exciting transnational education opportunities for Sri Lankan students.

The launch event, attended by industry experts and prominent figures, showcased UCL’s commitment to delivering a well-rounded engineering education.
