AIB believes that study of business is closely connected to the workplace, and recognises that workplaces can be seen as living laboratories, where one can investigate problems and issues, bring theory together with practice, seek solutions, and create new futures.

AIB is led by world-class academics and practitioners who are determined to maintain the closest link between business theory and cutting edge business practice.AIB’s 12 Month MBA programme, ranked #2 in Australia and #13 in the world by the CEO Magazine (UK), was introduced in Sri Lanka in 2007 in collaboration with OCB, and has since become the number one MBA choice for Sri Lankan executives, with hundreds of students and graduates currently reaping the benefits of work-applied learning.

The world’s most popular postgraduate degree, MBA provides students with knowledge of how people and processes operate within organisations and the wider environment affecting those organisations.MBA has become an effective way of not only ensuring one’s employment, but also ensuring one’s success and marketability in an ever-evolving job market.This year’s Alumni Event will be headed under the new leadership of Ms. Roshana Rasheed and Vice Presidents Mr. Nirosh Perea and Mr. Safraz Careem.
