Embarking on an international degree program is a transformative experience that can shape your future and open doors to global opportunities. Deakin University, Australia, in partnership with the Asia Pacific Institute of Information Technology (APIIT) Sri Lanka, offers a unique 1+2 pathway to a prestigious Deakin degree in either Business or IT.
A Seamless Transition
The pathway begins with a year of study at APIIT Sri Lanka in either the BSc (Honors) International Business Management degree or the BSc (Hons) Computer Science degree. This foundational year equips students with essential skills and knowledge vital for success in their chosen field. Upon successful completion of the first year, students can seamlessly transfer to Deakin University, Australia, to complete their Bachelor of Commerce, Bachelor of Business, or Bachelor of IT degree.
Accelerated Learning and Exemptions
One of the key advantages of this pathway is the ability to receive exemptions for up to 8 credit points (equivalent to 1 year of study) at Deakin, depending on the major chosen. This allows students to fast-track their degree and graduate sooner, saving time and money while earning a globally recognized qualification.
World-Class Education at Deakin
Deakin University is ranked in the top 1% of universities worldwide by QS and offers world-class education in a range of disciplines. With modern campuses, state-of-the-art facilities, and an innovative online learning environment, Deakin provides students with the tools they need to succeed in a rapidly evolving global marketplace.
Practical Experience and Industry Connections
Another attractive feature of the APIIT pathway to Deakin is the opportunity to gain industry experience while studying. Deakin believes in the importance of practical experience, offering work placements in businesses and organizations both in Australia and overseas. This hands-on experience gives students a competitive edge in the job market and prepares them for successful careers in their chosen field.
Post-Study Work Rights in Australia
Moreover, studying at Deakin opens up opportunities for post-study work rights in Australia. By studying a minimum of 16 credits over two years at Deakin, students become eligible to work in Australia for two or three years (depending on the Deakin campus location) after completing their degree, under current Australian government rules.
