Private universities do offer a wider range of degrees and prospective students aren’t limited to a handful of degree programmes. Many private universities in Sri Lanka actually promote transfer, and I feel that there are pathways to many international universities. It is my opinion that unless state universities are expanded so that more students may be admitted, private universities are a necessity. Although local universities are well recognised, I believe it is the same as other well-renowned private universities in the country, and private universities in the country have also produced great alumni. unisMelissa Perera, 27, graduateSome private universities in the country offer certain degrees that state universities don’t, and if you take that into consideration, then I suppose private universities produce a variety of graduates.
