University of West London (UWL) – Ealing Law School

University of West London which has been rated as the No 1 Modern University in London by Guardian UK, is one of the leading British Universities in Sri Lanka offering Masters programmes in Law and Business Management in collaboration with ANC Education. The Ealing Law School of the University of West London has also been rated as the No. 1 modern Law School in London by Guardian University (2012).  The Ealing Law School (Law Faculty of UWL) has a long standing reputation for legal education in London for offering LLB, LLM and PhD qualifications in UK.  The school also enjoys close ties to the Middlesex Law Society (MLS) where new students can take part in the MLS Young Members Group and various communities in the Legal London.

The LL.M. programmes that are offered by UWL are the following:

  • International Business and Commercial Law
  • International Studies in Intellectual Property Law

Following a two semester model, each programme will have specialized modules. Each module will have 60 hours of lectures and other inter-active activities. In addition, lectures on Research Methodology with tutor support will lead to the development of a 15, 000 word dissertation. The programmes are meant to be completed within one year with lectures being held on weekday evenings and on Saturday mornings and afternoons. The LL.M. in International Business and Commercial Law is by far the most popular of the programmes.

Admission to the LL.M. programmes is essentially meant for those who have a LL.B. degree from a recognized university or who have been admitted to practice law in an acceptable jurisdiction. Admission is also possible for those with appropriate academic or professional qualifications  such as CIMA/ Charted and MBA where the course of studies had included relevant legal subjects and have acquired sufficient post-qualification working experience- these applicants will be screened on a case-by-case basis. Lectures will be conducted here by visiting UWL academics as well as by leading local academics.

With the renewed interest in foreign participation in joint ventures in several areas of the country’s economy, it has become more urgent than ever before for local lawyers and professionals to broaden their horizons. The LL.M. programmes of the University of West London provide a unique opportunity for Sri Lankan lawyers and professionals who deal with legal matters to gain an insight into many areas of the law of practical relevance to their work. The programmes cover statutory, case law and regulatory developments not only in the United Kingdom and the European Union but also at the international level.

There are certain unique features about each of these post-graduate programmes, namely;

  • Internal British degree conducted on a Mirror Model : The programmes lead to an “internal” LL.M. degree being awarded by UWL conducted on a mirror model without the necessity to travel, live and study in London;
  • Visiting faculty from UWL : Lectures are conducted jointly by academics of UWL who visit Sri Lanka each semester and by leading local academics;
  • Dual supervision of the Dissertation: Each LL.M. programme involves a series of examinations and a 15, 000 word dissertation for which a local and a foreign supervisor will help guide the students;
  • Diversified teaching methods : Besides lectures in the traditional form, simulation exercises are held to enable students to sharpen their forensic skills;
  • Blackboard student portal: Students have access to UWL’s Virtual Learning Environment which provides each week’s power point slides of lectures, e-books and other materials. There is provision for on-line submission of assignments as well.
  • Weekday evening and weekend classes: Lectures are during one weekday evening and on Saturdays, thus enabling practitioners and working people to continue to work whilst following the programme.
  • Online Library facilities and free text books – Student will have access to the Online library material of the University West London and free text books.

The need for an international outlook for lawyers, accountants and other professionals cannot be gainsaid. Comparative law is a fascinating subject which is going through many changes all the time, responding to the changing nature of the international legal architecture. These LL.M. programmes offer a window of opportunity to follow these developments and be part of the growing international community of comparative lawyers.  More information on LLM Programmes and the Next intake commencing in May 2015 can be obtained from 0777 449955 or by visiting ancedu.com

Posted on by ancedu

BUP_DFT_DFT-11-8

There is a global demand for individuals who strive to take on the challenges of the dynamic corporate world. Thus, with the aim of gearing such individuals with the necessary knowledge to climb up the corporate ladder, the University of West London (UWL) together with the Charted Institute of Management Accountants (CIMA) launched an MBA program that is tailor made for students who complete CIMA.

CIMA is the world’s most acclaimed body for management accountancy while UWL is a globally recognised university with an employability rate of 94% according to the Employment Performance Indicators published by the Education Statistics Agency of the United Kingdom.

For the first time in Sri Lanka this program will be offered in the country where ANC ANC Education – the market leader for tertiary education in Sri Lanka will be the delivery partner for this course. Thus, initiating this partnership, a Memorandum of Understanding with regards to this venture was signed recently with CIMA Sri Lanka and ANC Education.

The one-year MBA program has been structured with the aim of providing CIMA graduates with the knowledge and practice of strategic leadership and people management. Hence, Sri Lankan CIMA graduates will be granted the opportunity of obtaining a world-class MBA, which will give them the edge in harnessing global opportunities.

The MBA program consists of four core modules – Managing People, Corporate Strategy, Global Marketing and Research Methods a 15,000 words dissertation to be submitted after the completion of the modules. Classes will be conducted on weekends for the convenience of students.This masters degree is identified to be one of the top MBA programs in Sri Lanka.

The curriculum of the MBA at ANC Education is mirrored with what is offered at UWL. The initial lecture sessions will be conducted by visiting professors of UWL, enabling students to gain an international exposure and perspective. The sessions that follow will be carried out by lecturers approved by the university to ensure that academic standards are kept on par with UWL requirements. Further, the Blackboard Virtual Learning platform has also been made available with a wide range of online facilities such as online assignment submission and e-library facilities.

Every year there are 500 to 600 CIMA students graduating in Sri Lanka. And we see global opportunities for such individuals. What can really give them an advantage in the global arena in addition to a management accounting qualification is a globally recognised MBA. In addition to a management accounting qualification, this will give them the business leadership qualification; and will equip them to take on a senior management role, be a department head or a leader of a strategic business unit.
Being far from just another theory based academic program, the MBA from UWL will enable students to learn through practical case studies and thus will enhance their abilities to make quick decisions, interpret data, and the ability to motivate people through enhanced leadership skills. Students will also get the required prowess to analyse market situations and lead their respective organisations towards success.
The world of accounting has changed massively in the last 30 years and it is very important that individuals update their skills to be on par with this change. And I think this MBA program linked with CIMA will very effectively help people to broaden their range of skills in a context where change is demanded within business leaders,” – CIMA Chief Executive Charles Tilley.

ANC and UWL are very excited about this unique program which allows CIMA qualified graduates to follow MBA modules that will complement their CIMA qualifications. Modules such as Corporate Strategy, Global Marketing and Human Resource Management will strengthen the CIMA graduates understanding of key organisational issues. On completion of the UWL MBA, graduates will be in a position to add value to their organisations by contributing to decision-making in different areas of the business.
