Join ACBT University Foundation Programme with Your O/Level Results

With guaranteed entry to Australian and UK Universities in Sri Lanka or abroad

Australian College of Business and Technology (ACBT), the pioneer in providing International Higher Education in Sri Lanka since 1998, has started enrollments for its new batch of International University Foundation Programme exclusively meant for students who sat for GCE Ordinary Level Examination in 2023.

ACBT International University Foundation Programme is an excellent opportunity for students who have completed Ordinary Level examination to fast track their entry to a university degree programme in Australia or UK. This eight (8) month International University Foundation Programme is ideal for those students who do not wish to pursue Advanced Level studies in schools and it directly transfers them, upon successful completion, to the first year of the university degree. To follow the International University Foundation Programme, students require a minimum of five (5) passes at GCE O/Level including a Credit pass for English Language. However, the students can join the ACBT International University Foundation Programme with pending O/Level results.

There are five main streams of study in the International Foundation Programme: namely Business, IT, Nursing,

Science & Engineering. Graduates from these disciplines are in high demand globally. Especially in Australia & United Kingdom, these programs open pathways to numerous employment opportunities for those students who plan to complete their degree programmes in Australian & UK universities. An added advantage of the ACBT’s International University Foundation Programme is that; the students can complete their Diploma Programmes locally & get the opportunity to transfer to Australia or UK.

However, if students do not intend to complete their studies in Australia or UK, it is also possible for them to complete the entire degree programme at ACBT Partnered Universities in Sri Lanka at a much lower cost than studying in Australia or UK.

The 8 months of the ACBT’s International University Foundation Programme are divided into two semesters during which students study eight subjects relevant to their chosen stream of specialization. Course schedule is planned in order to engage students in a full-time academic program so as to equip them with the relevant subject knowledge, academic discipline and study skills expected of a prospective undergraduate student. In addition, students are provided with on-line learning facilities of international standards as well as a comfortable and safe campus environment to study at ACBT.
