-

Students who are looking to take the next step in their education and have a passion for Informatio­n Technology are warmly invited to enrol this month at the new UTS Insearch Colombo campus to pursue their university plans.

UTS Insearch Sri Lanka offers pathways to the University of Technology Sydney ( UTS), Australia’s number one young university (under the age of 50). Students who have completed their A Levels who are interested in a career in IT should apply now to join the UTS Insearch Diploma of IT.

Start here in Colombo

Current student, Nuvin Chamathka Perera says, “I’m studying the Diploma of I n formation Technology because IT is the future. One day I want to run my own company specialisi­ng in cybersecur­ity and data science. What I love about the course is the friendly teachers and the high- quality facilities. UTS Insearch cares about the students and shows us how to improve our skills. It also provides a gateway to study in Australia.”

With the UTS Insearch Diploma of IT now available in Sri Lanka, delayed travel plans do not mean any student needs to delay their journey to university. They can start right away, here in Colombo, knowing they are on a pathway to complete their degrees at UTS in Sydney, in a vibrant and welcoming city, rich in start-ups and technology.

Ms Alison Hiscox, Principal of UTS Insearch Sri Lanka, is passionate about providing Sri Lankan students with the opportunit­y to study a highqualit­y Australian program in their own country. She says, “Students joining our UTS Insearch Diploma of IT in Colombo, like their peers in Sydney, are being prepared for a fast- paced digital future. They are accessing the same worldclass university standards from day one of their studies, developing the IT skills that are in demand in many industries, or even their own start- ups. For profession­als working in technology, the opportunit­ies are endless.”

Students at UTS Insearch in Sri Lanka will have the same learning outcomes as UTS first-year IT students. On successful completion of the diploma, students are eligible for direct entry to second year of the prestigiou­s UTS Bachelor of Science in Informatio­n Technology.
