With our Deakin University Pathway Programmes, students who meet the required entry qualifications after A/Ls or O/Ls can begin their higher education journey in Sri Lanka by completing the first year or first two years of their chosen Deakin programme. These pathway programmes offer a seamless transition from school to university life abroad, allowing students to stay with their families while preparing for this significant milestone.

Following the same curriculum as Deakin University in Australia, students benefit from a combination of online and in-person lessons that familiarize them with Australian education standards. They also establish early connections with their lecturers, ensuring a smooth and confident transition when they move to Australia.

In addition to providing world-class education, these programmes offer significant cost savings, making them an excellent choice for students seeking high-quality education at an affordable cost. With February and September intakes each year, the programme provides flexibility and opens doors to numerous opportunities for academic and professional success.
