What we are expecting from you

Socially responsible individuals

Peradeniya's MBA isn't just a piece of paper. We empower graduates to be both socially responsible and entrepreneurial, shaping them into future business leaders who make a difference.

The capacity to learn

The Peradeniya MBA is a rigorous programme that requires students' fullest capacity. The final year research is a compulsory component of the MBA which tests students' critical thinking and analytical skills.

Ability to manage life

Peradeniya's MBA is intense! Weekend classes demand a full week's commitment, so expect to manage work, studies, and personal life effectively. It's a 2.5-year balancing act, but essential for your success.

Leadership and social intelligence

Leadership & social skills matter! We value well-rounded candidates who've led at work, championed causes, or shown emotional intelligence in daily life.
