Royal Institute of Colombo plays a pioneering role in extending university education in Degree and Diploma courses of the University of London. Academic direction for the EMFSS (Economics, Management, Finance and Social Science) courses is provided by the LSE. This means that LSE academics and administrative staff develop syllabuses, write subject guides, develop online learning opportunities and materials, advise teaching institutions and prepare and mark examinations. University of London International Programmes students have the benefit of LSE's academic expertise, and the backing of the University of London, one of the oldest and largest universities in the UK. Successful students are awarded degrees or other qualifications by the University of London. These are distinct from degrees or other qualifications awarded by LSE. .
We offer the Diploma in Economics, Diploma in Social Sciences and the Diploma in Law. On successful completion of a Diploma, students can obtain the relevant BSc or LLB degree with 2 more years of studies at the RIC.
