What is BCI Campus and is it recognised?
BCI Campus is the name used by the Benedict XVI Catholic International Institute of Higher Education, based on a single campus in Negombo with library and computer centres.
The institute states that it is a degree-awarding institute recognised by the Ministry of Education under Extraordinary Gazette No. 2201/4 of 9 November 2020. This means BCI awards its own degrees rather than delivering a foreign university's award.
Its schools cover business, computing, education, psychology and counselling, and nursing and health sciences. BCI also runs an Academy of English and an Academy of Music.
The programs in the cards below are listed by Uplift partner institutes.
