Thursday 24 November 2016
Salford Business School and Institute of Personnel Management (IPM), Sri Lanka, one of the country’s leading Human Resource Management training providers, have signed a partnership agreement.
The deal means that IPM will offer Salford’s Bachelor of Science (B.Sc) and Master of Science (M.Sc) degrees in Human Resources Management, locally in Sri Lanka.
A Memorandum of Understanding was signed by Professor Ajantha Dharmasiri-President, IPM Sri Lanka and Eileen Roddy of the Salford Business School.
Eileen Roddy, Associate Dean International, said: “IPM Sri Lanka has a great reputation and it is a good fit for the two institutions to come together to provide essential management training to help Sri Lanka’s growing economy.
"We are delighted to have signed this Memorandum of Understanding appointing IPM Sri Lanka as our franchise partner in Sri Lanka and look forward to strengthening our mutual relationship in the years to come.”
Professor Ajantha Dharmasiri said: "We are pleased to enter into this long term relationship with the University of Salford which will enable us to offer their globally recognized human resources management degrees in Sri Lanka. Local students will benefit from this initiative since they will be completing their undergraduate as well as postgraduate degrees in human resources management in Sri Lanka itself, instead of having to travel to the UK.
The B.Sc and M.Sc degree programmes will be for 3 years and 16-18 months respectively and will be taught by the experienced faculty at IPM Sri Lanka with subject matter and curricular provided by Salford. The assessments will be carried out to standards set by Salford.
IPM was founded in 1959 and is affiliated to the Asia Pacific Foundation of Human Resources Management and also to the World Federation of People Management Association. Currently IPM comprises of over 1000 Professional Members who serve in both public and private organizations.
