This provides Sri Lankan students the opportunity to stay safe during the post Covid-19 period while engaging in studies without distractions.
Speaking about the partnership, Associate Dean, International, Faculty of Business and Law, Deakin University, Professor Alexander Newman said, “Through this partnership, we look forward to welcoming APIIT students into the Bachelor of Commerce and the Bachelor of Business degrees at Deakin. Our institutions have come together to help mitigate some of the immediate challenges in a post- COVID environment.
Vice Chancellor-International Research Partnerships Deakin University, Prof. K Baskaran said, “APIIT will offer a pathway to Deakin programmes in Computer Science, Software Engineering and Cyber Security. Sri Lankan students will be able to complete years 1 – 2 at APIIT and transfer to Deakin University with complete credit for prior learning and will also be able to make significant savings as a result.”
