About Us

GISM's History

The Graduate Institute of Science and Management, which is known as GISM Campus, is a leading higher education institute to offer world-class job oriented Degree pathway programmes in various disciplines for both Sri Lankan and foreign students. We are the education and research partner in Sri Lanka to world’s renowned Massey University-New Zealand, Edinburgh Napier University-UK, Amity University-India and China Medical University-China.

GISM was established in the year 2010 by its Founder President Prof. Dr. G. G. Senaratne who is a renowned academic and researcher in Microwave Engineering for foreign object detection & quality measurements. Prof. Senaratne was a former faculty member at Massey University, New Zealand where he obtained his PhD in Microwave Signal Processing from the same university and, he obtained his MSc Degree in Mobile, Satellite and Broadband Communication from the University of Westminster, UK. He is a visiting Professor at Sharda University, India where he worked as a Professor of Electronics Engineering at the Faculty of Engineering & Technology.

The principle aim of GISM is to open doors for Sri Lankan students to possess with world-class higher educational qualification from reputed countries such as New Zealand and U.K. at an affordable cost. With our Degree pathway arrangement, students can study their first year or first two years in Sri Lanka at GISM and transfer to Massey University or Edinburgh Napier University to complete their degree. Several Business Management, Information Science, Engineering and Bioscience Degrees are offered in collaboration with these Universities.

We support student placements for undergraduate, Masters and PhD studies in New Zealand or any other developed country with the services such as visa application support, University adjustment and communication skill development support etc. Also, further affordable educational options in both undergraduate and postgraduate levels will be available in collaboration with highly recognized Universities in Australia, China and India.

President’s Message

The Graduate Institute of Science and Management (GISM) was established to introduce modern, internationally recognised higher education and research opportunities to Sri Lanka through strong partnerships with prestigious foreign universities and research institutions. Its core objective is to deliver high-quality undergraduate and postgraduate programmes locally at a significantly lower cost, allowing students to remain close to their families while preparing academically, morally, and spiritually for further studies overseas. Emphasising the vital role of research in national development, GISM seeks to combine global expertise and advanced technologies with local knowledge to address Sri Lanka’s social, cultural, and economic challenges. The institute aspires to become a regional centre for education and research and invites professionals from engineering, mathematics, science, medicine, academia, and industry to collaborate in building a better future for the country and the region.

Message from Professor Graeme C. Wake, Massey University, New Zealand.

I am pleased to send this message of good wishes at the time of the launch of the Graduate Institute of Science and Management (GISM).  I have followed closely its development with interest, both professionally and personally in view of my close working relationship with the Chairman of the Board, Dr Galkadowite Senaratne, who has worked with me in our Institute for his Doctorate of Philosophy in Technology and thereafter.  He developed a nice set of algorithms for interrogating the inverse scattering of microwaves for detection of foreign objects like tumours.  GISM is an ambitious project.  The founders are motivated by the most admiration of intentions: they want to further the professional development of Sri Lanka and its people. I send my sincere good wishes for its success and look forward to hearing of developments. I am sorry I cannot be with you to share your excitement.

Professor Graeme Wake FRSNZ, D Sc., – Director, Centre for Mathematics in Industry, Institute of Information and Mathematical Sciences, Massey University at Albany, Auckland, New Zealand.
