Embarking on an international degree program is a transformative journey that opens doors to a world of 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 Commerce degree.
This pathway begins with a year of study in the BSc (Honors) Commerce degree at APIIT Sri Lanka. Upon successful completion of the first year, students have the exciting opportunity to transfer to Deakin University, Australia, to complete their Bachelor of Commerce degree.
The Bachelor of Commerce at Deakin is globally accredited and designed to develop students’ passion for commerce while building essential skills in financial acumen, market knowledge, and management. Students can specialize in one of several majors, including Accounting, Economics, Finance, Human Resource Management, and Marketing, among others.
One of the key benefits of this pathway is the ability to gain exemptions for up to 8 credit points (equivalent to 1 year of study) at Deakin, depending on the major sequence chosen. This means students can fast-track their degree and enter the workforce sooner, equipped with a globally recognized qualification.
Moreover, Deakin University places a strong emphasis on practical experience, offering work placements in businesses and organizations both in Australia and overseas. Students who undertake placements and internships as part of their degree are highly sought after by employers, giving them a competitive edge in the job market.
