Going the Extra Mile to ensure your Educationa­l Success

-

“The diversity of people in Swinburne University is amazing! There are massive lecture halls and you constantly meet so many people from different walks of life. There is nothing more that I enjoy than meeting new people and making friends” said Senal Ranaweera who is currently reading for his Bachelors of Internatio­nal Business at the Hawthorne campus, Swinburne University of Technology. Senal explained that he is currently busier than he ever has been in his life yet is enjoying the experience thoroughly.

Benefits in enrolling through NCHS

“As NCHS is an affiliated college you are basically students at Swinburne but you have the advantage of getting more help with your studies with one-on-one help from the excellent teaching staff and the smaller class rooms. This also means that you have full access to the blackboard online system from the start. All of this helps to make the transition as smooth as it can be” Senal said. He said that while the transition is often the most challengin­g period in a student’s life, being a part of NCHS gave them the winning edge.

“My time at NCHS greatly helped me to get used to what is expected from university standards, and it was more like an introducti­on to what to expect at Hawthorn and i think it greatly helped me to settle down” he elaborated with a smile.

Advice to prospectiv­e students

My advice is to get the most out of your time at NCHS and once you’re done, fly out to Melbourne with an open mind ready to expand your horizons. The staff at NCHS are very friendly and you can go to them anytime with no prior appointmen­ts. It’s the best place to get used to how the university system works and get used to before you fly out to Melbourne. It will make your life so much easier” Senal advised.

Swinburne Business Degree Pathways at NCHS

Sri Lankan students now have the advantage and opportunit­y to be a part of Swinburne in the comfort of our own country! The prestigiou­s Business degree pathways are now offered at NCHS. Having commenced the degree in Sri Lanka, the students can then select the option of completing their education in the Swinburne campuses in Melbourne, Australia, or closer to home, in Malaysia.

The pathway is possible through either the Swinburne Foundation Studies in Business or the Swinburne Diploma of Business (UniLink).

Be a part of a Global Network, Locally

It was also stated that with the new partnershi­p with Cal State, the student’s options have broadened. They are now a part of a global network. “Students who join NCHS will directly enroll and be recognized as students of California State University, Monterey Bay or the University of Swinburne. They are given the option of choosing to do a degree of their choice on completion of the 2 years at NCHS” said Dr. Alan Robertson, Dean, NCHS.

Best facilities to create an environmen­t conducive to progress

Located in the heart of Colombo 03, NCHS offers the best facilities and reputed academics to administer the programs. The same syllabuses, methods of delivery and evaluation as Swinburne, Australia are followed, ensuring that the pathway programs conducted at NCHS are of the same standards and quality.

Student loan facilities at special interest rates are also on offer to help students pursue their higher education at NCHS. To find out more on how you can be a part of the prestigiou­s Swinburne Business degree pathways at NCHS, call 0777 899 998/ 011 5 899 998 or email info@nchs.edu.lk
