What this MBA is
The program is a full 180-credit Master of Business Administration with a human resource management focus. London Metropolitan University awards the degree, and the program record states that it is recognised by the University Grants Commission (UGC). ESOFT Uni delivers it in Colombo, and the record notes that it has run in Sri Lanka since 2013.
Learning draws on work experience, case studies, business scenarios, presentations and problem-based tasks. Assessment is based on practical assignments rather than written examinations. Classes follow weekend and blended schedules, so the program is designed around a working week.
