Commerce. It is a unique undergraduate programme within the Sri Lankan university system because it combines the disciplines of management and economics.\n      <\/p>\n\n      <p>\n        This combination opens up a wide range of employment opportunities for graduates in fields such as the corporate sector, banking, policy analysis, research, and the public sector. The well-qualified and experienced lecturing panel and the well-organised curriculum provide students with a strong foundation for a vibrant and stable professional future.\n      <\/p>\n\n      <p>\n        The programme also provides an engaging and practical educational experience through co-curricular activities such as workshops, seminars, guest lectures, industry visits, surveys, and field visits. These activities enable students to connect their academic knowledge with practical applications while developing networks with industry professionals.\n      <\/p>\n\n      <p>\n        I am sincerely grateful to all the lecturers of the Department for the inspiration, support, and guidance provided to me throughout the degree programme.\n      <\/p>\n    <\/div>\n\n  <\/article>\n<\/section>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Ms. Udeshika Chandrarathne B.Sc. in Business Administration (Business Economics) (Special) Venerable Prof. Walpola Sri Rahula Maha Thero Memorial Gold Medal Recipient, 2012\/2013 Batch NIBM Gold Medal Recipient, 2012\/2013 Batch Highest GPA Holder of the Faculty of Management Studies and Commerce, 2012\/2013 Batch Secretary, BIZCON 2016 Member of the Sri Lankan Team at the South Asian [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":3608,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_jetpack_newsletter_access":"","_jetpack_dont_email_post_to_subs":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_tier_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paywalled_content":false,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[15,27,2],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-3607","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-image-gallery","category-students-achievements","category-top-stories"],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"https:\/\/mgt.sjp.ac.lk\/bec\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/09\/Udeshika.jpg","jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"jetpack_shortlink":"https:\/\/wp.me\/p7odTZ-Wb","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/mgt.sjp.ac.lk\/bec\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/3607"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/mgt.sjp.ac.lk\/bec\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/mgt.sjp.ac.lk\/bec\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mgt.sjp.ac.lk\/bec\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mgt.sjp.ac.lk\/bec\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=3607"}],"version-history":[{"count":5,"href":"https:\/\/mgt.sjp.ac.lk\/bec\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/3607\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":12829,"href":"https:\/\/mgt.sjp.ac.lk\/bec\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/3607\/revisions\/12829"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mgt.sjp.ac.lk\/bec\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/3608"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/mgt.sjp.ac.lk\/bec\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=3607"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mgt.sjp.ac.lk\/bec\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=3607"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mgt.sjp.ac.lk\/bec\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=3607"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
