Embarking on an international business degree program is a pivotal step towards a successful and rewarding career. 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 Business degree.
This pathway starts with a year of study in the BSc (Honors) International Business Management 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 Commerce or Bachelor of Business degree.
The Bachelor of Business at Deakin is designed to equip students with general business skills and experience necessary to succeed in various sectors. Students can choose to major in People Management, Event Management, or Project Management, exploring emerging and innovative business trends while developing valuable soft skills crucial for personal development and career advancement.
