Bsc (Hons) in Nursing

I am a student of Bsc (Hons) Nursing 07th batch (Galle branch). I recommend ICBT Galle branch to start Nursing Bsc and this is the best place for it. They have very excellent lecturers and progress is also very consistent. I really appreciate the dedication of previous Coordinator Miss Kanchana Panditha (presently Miss Kanchana Panditha-Assistant Manager-Academic Administration). Undergraduate Department, ICBT Colombo Camp) . All the best

How we enjoying

The Institute of Chemistry Ceylon (IChemC) stands as a prestigious and highly respected professional body for chemical sciences in Sri Lanka. Established under the Royal Charter of the Royal Society of Chemistry and later recognized by the Government of Sri Lanka, IChemC has played a vital role in promoting the study, practice, and advancement of chemistry in the country. One of the institute's most notable contributions is its Graduateship Programme in Chemistry (GIC), which is widely recognized as a rigorous and high-standard alternative to a traditional university degree in chemistry. The curriculum is comprehensive, blending theoretical knowledge with practical laboratory experience. Many graduates of this program have successfully gone on to pursue postgraduate studies both locally and internationally, or to secure employment in various sectors such as pharmaceuticals, manufacturing, education, and research. IChemC also contributes significantly to research, development, and professional ethics in the chemical sciences. It regularly organizes seminars, symposia, workshops, and conferences that bring together students, academics, and professionals to discuss current trends, innovations, and challenges in the field of chemistry. The institute's facilities at Rajagiriya are well-equipped with modern laboratories, a library, and learning spaces that support a conducive academic environment. The faculty includes experienced academics and industry professionals who are deeply committed to delivering quality education and mentorship. Furthermore, IChemC promotes professional development and networking through its membership structure, which includes student members, associate members, and fellows. This has helped build a strong professional community of chemists in Sri Lanka. While the institute is highly regarded for its academic rigor, it is also known for being demanding. Students must be prepared to commit themselves to a challenging but rewarding academic journey.
