Introduction

The University of Colombo, as part of an ongoing process of conducting courses to meet the demands of the changing business world announces the continuation of its extremely successful Postgraduate Diploma Programme in Business Management PGDip (Busi Mgmt).

Recognizing the needs of a changing and competitive world of enterprise, contemporary organizations are demanding better qualified executives, able to deal effectively, not only with day to day routine work, but also capable of making a significant contribution to the corporate planning strategies of the company.

The Postgraduate Diploma in Business Management will attempt to bridge the gap between the academic knowledge gained during the first Degree/ Diploma and the management needs in the currently competitive business arena. Undergraduates who have performed well in their degree courses will now be given the opportunity to improve their practical skills. Since this course incorporates management related subjects, it will improve their competitiveness in the labour market.

Undergraduates, whose horizon was limited to the public sector, will now be trained to face the demands of a competitive business environment with confidence. They will be equipped with the skills of analysis, presentation and decision making necessary to succeed in securing attractive employment opportunities and in becoming skillful managers who are assets to their employers.
