Pave your pathway to Monash through UCL…

While many Sri Lankans are exploring foreign education opportunities, Australia is one of the most preferred destinations for many to either study or work. All such aspirants can now jump-start their education and career dreams right here and within accessible distance to the place we call home. Entry to prestigious Monash University is now accessible to Sri Lankan youth via the new partnership established between Monash College and Universal College Lanka (UCL) which is headquartered in Rajagirya.

Since February 2016, UCL has been delivering the Monash University Foundation Year (MUFY) program and Diplomas in Business and in Engineering (IT and Engineering streams) which is equivalent to the 1st year of the destination degrees in those streams of study. On completion, students will gain entry to Monash University, one of the world’s top 100 universities and are given the option to choose between the campuses in either Malaysia or Australia.

Monash University has achieved an enviable national and international reputation for research and teaching excellence in the short 50 years since it began. Monash is ranked in the top 1% of world universities – 73rd in the world – according to the Times Higher Education World University Rankings (2015–2016). The latest achievement of Monash is in the stream of Engineering and Technology where they were ranked the best in Australia and 53rd in the world in November 2015. Further, they are a Triple Crowned Go8 University with Triple International Business School Accreditations and have also been voted the best University in Victoria and second in Australia from which to hire graduates by Global recruiters. The annual 2014 Global Employability University Ranking, polled by the French Human Resources consultancy Emerging, and German polling institute Trendence, placed Monash 33rd in the world.

Expressing his thoughts Dr. Harsha Alles, one of the Directors shared “this partnership between Monash and UCL provides an opportunity to Sri Lankan students to enrol in a course that will not only provide a qualification recognised world-over but will also assist the students to be better prepared to face an interview and seek out the most suited job role within the job market either internationally or at home”.
