BCAS Campus was represented by its senior leadership, including  Teresh Amarathunga, Chief Executive Officer, and Prof. Ruvan Abeysekara, Vice Chancellor, together with members of the institution’s governance and management teams.

The launch formally introduced the BCAS-LSBU academic partnership to key stakeholders and highlights the opportunities it creates for Sri Lankan students seeking internationally recognised qualifications with strong academic and career relevance. The collaboration further strengthens BCAS Campus’ position as a higher education institution committed to delivering globally connected academic pathways in Sri Lanka.
