Sri Lanka is renowned as one of the best destination for educational programmes. Unique joint degree programmes such as twinning degrees (example: 2 years in Sri Lanka and 1 year in overseas host university) and 3+0 international degrees (where the entire foreign university degree program is taught in Sri Lanka) are offered to local and international students at cheaper tuition fees based on the Sri Lankan Rupees as compared to the more expensive currencies from countries like the United Kingdom, USA and Australia.
