Taking the decision to study abroad is never an easy one. A great amount of time and effort is required when looking for the ideal programme to suit your needs and fulfil your long-term career aspirations. West 1 International (Pvt) Ltd. is Sri Lanka’s premier consultant group for higher education in the United Kingdom and is the ideal place for those looking towards going to the UK for further studies.
In today’s increasingly globalized economy, employers tend to look for much more than a student with textbook knowledge. Instead, they are interested in recruiting creative, confident and independent thinkers who are effectively able to apply relevant skills and theories to real-life work environments. Studying in the U.K can provide students with this knowledge and experience, while simultaneously building up their resumes for future employment.
West 1 International is an Education Consultancy firm that offers a highly comprehensive and specialised integrated consultancy service to those who wish to get a head start in their careers. Established in Sri Lanka in February 2001, it is spearheaded by its Managing Director, Anusha Hewage, a specialist in the field of Educational Consultation. She has extensive first-hand experience of having lived in the UK for over 10 years and is very familiar with studying and working in global markets. This gives her the unique advantage of knowing many worldwide educational processes intimately, therefore making her the ideal candidate for advice on pursuing an education abroad. Hewage, who strongly believes in the importance of consultation said, “It is extremely important that a student is guided and advised with clear, accurate information as studying in the U.K involves a substantial monetary investment, therefore making it all the more necessary for the student to choose a relevant and useful programme, keeping their individual career path in mind.”
West 1 International officially represents many of U.K’s top universities and colleges, including the Royal Holloway ,University of London which is ranked 9th top university in the UK , very prestigious University of Westminster, University of Glamorgan, Manchester Metropolitan University and London Metropolitan University and other institutions accredited by the British Accreditation Council (BAC). Students can choose from an extensive range of study areas at the undergraduate and postgraduate levels, from Business, Mathematics, IT and Engineering to English Literature, Performing Arts and Fashion.

They help with the tedious task of filling applications whether it is through the UCAS application system or directly to the university. In addition, West 1 International takes charge of all documentation on the student’s behalf and provides step-by-step assistance on student visa applications. Included in their service is advice on the payment of fees, finding private accommodation as well as student employment. West 1 International further adds value to its proposition by providing lifestyle and career guidance so as to make sure that every student is placed in the programme that not only is their chosen one but is also most appropriate for them. Another invaluable benefit of using this consultancy service is their regularly organised meetings with University Academics that give the students a chance meet one-on-one and discuss their queries with these official representatives.
Rajeeka Heenatigala, a Post Graduate from the London Metropolitan University described her own experience with West 1 International - “When I became interested in pursuing a postgraduate degree in Finance, the consultants of West 1 International were able to give me valuable advice on which programmes at which university would benefit me the most. I even got the chance to meet a representative from my chosen university to discuss course content, entry requirements and career prospects. Once I received acceptance, West 1 personnel helped me with their systematic and methodical approach of obtaining a visa without hassle.”
