Embarking on an international degree program is a life-changing decision that can significantly enhance your career prospects and open doors to exciting opportunities. Deakin University, Australia, in collaboration with the Asia Pacific Institute of Information Technology (APIIT) Sri Lanka, offers a unique 1+2 pathway to a prestigious Bachelor of IT degree.
This pathway begins with a year of study in the BSc (Hons) Computer Science degree at APIIT Sri Lanka. Upon completing the first year, students have the exciting opportunity to transfer to Deakin University, Australia, to complete their Bachelor of IT degree.
Deakin’s Bachelor of IT program offers a range of specializations, including Application Development, Cyber Security, Cloud Computing, Game Development, Creative Technologies, and Virtual & Augmented Reality. This comprehensive curriculum ensures that students are well-equipped to navigate the dynamic world of IT and stay abreast of emerging technologies and trends.
One of the key advantages of this pathway is the opportunity to apply for Post-Study work rights in Australia. By studying a minimum of 16 credits over two years at Deakin, students become eligible to work in Australia for two or three years (depending on the Deakin campus location) after completing their degree, under current Australian government rules. This provides a valuable opportunity to gain international work experience and enhance employability.
Deakin University is renowned for its world-class education and excellent employment prospects. Ranked in the top 1% of all universities worldwide by QS, Deakin offers a high-quality learning experience supported by modern campuses, state-of-the-art facilities, and an innovative online learning environment.
