Start in Sri Lanka and Graduate in Australia

When A/Ls are over, options used to include staying in Sri Lanka, going abroad or getting a job. Going abroad is most student’s desire. However, finding the right university which has the right fit is often a challenge. With the booming education industry, the number of universities and institutes offering degree programmes is numerous. The below points will provide a starting point to the journey.

Recognition of the Degree

While most private universities in Sri Lanka claim foreign affiliations from the ‘best’ university with the ‘highest ranking’, the credibility of the local partner is often questionable. Find out as to how old the local partner university is, who is on the management team, information on the lecture panel and facilities. Ensure that both the local university, as well as the foreign affiliation, has credibility and global acceptance.

Infrastructure and support

When you are selecting a pathway degree with the intentions of completing the latter part of the degree aboard, the facilities are key. You need to start your degree in a parallel environment to the foreign university. A similar infrastructure with resources and teaching methodology will enable you to excel from the start. Thereby, the transition will be smooth and nothing to fear!

Budget

In education too, it is important to ‘cut the coat according to the cloth’. Identify your budget and match this with a university within your price range. While the facilities may differ as per the university and program, monetary support is often within range. Find out as to what benefits the university has such as scholarships, subsidiaries and loan schemes.

The Nawaloka College of Higher Studies

The Nawaloka College of Higher studies (NCHS) is a provider of globally recognized higher education qualifications. The brand name ‘Nawaloka’ is synonymous with reliability and credibility, as it has proved itself through decades in the health care sector. Located in the heart of Colombo, the NCHS campus consists of modern facilities, providing students with a learning environment on par with international standards. With a strong commitment to provide high quality education, NCHS offers distinctive benefits that are tailor made to suit the needs of each individual student.

Swinburne University of Technology

NCHS has partnered with the global leaders in education, the Swinburne University of Technology enabling NCHS to offer a plethora of subjects to the students.

Swinburne University of Technology, located in Melbourne, Australia, as well as a branch campus in Malaysia is a dynamic institution renowned for innovation and industry-focused education. With a commitment to fostering creativity and practical skills, Swinburne equips students for success in the rapidly evolving global landscape, offering a vibrant learning environment and cutting-edge programs

“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” said Senal Ranaweera who transferred to Melbourne in order to complete his degree in International Business.

Tailor Made Study Programs

At NCHS, students enjoy smaller classes, focused learning and one-on-one time with the teachers, giving every opportunity to succeed in studies.

The study programs conducted at NCHS are identical to that of Swinburne, Australia and follow the same curriculum, methods of teaching and evaluations, ensuring high quality and international standards. These identical industry-informed and industry-engaged study programs at NCHS are specially designed to combine rigorous academic studies with practical knowledge essential for the academic and career success of the students.
