The first batch of students from the Graduate Institute of Science and Management (GISM) completed their final year of the degree in New Zealand. The annual awards ceremony was held last week.

This is the first time that students have been transferred to a New Zealand University as part of an articulation program conducted with a Sri Lankan Education Provider.

The Assistant Vice Chancellor and a high ranking panel of Professors from New Zealand's premier Massey University were also present.

Founder and President of GISM Campus Prof. G.G. Senaratne said, "The GISM campus, which is situated away from the city, seeks to provide excellence in academic standards by adopting state-of-the-art teaching techniques.

Prof. Senaratne said, "GISM offers degree programs in Engineering, Business, Science and Languages.

Students will be able to complete the first year of the degree in Sri Lanka before going to New Zealand to complete the remaining second and third years of their degrees.
