It is time to Start the Degree of your Dreams
View(s):With the inconsistencies and turbulence that is a part and parcel of life during a pandemic, many dreams were postponed and shelved. Basic needs and survival became the priority. However, as we mark the first-year anniversary of being Survivors of a Global Pandemic, it is time to stop stagnating and move forward.
One of the key areas to consider when planning for the future is Education. It is what supersedes tribulations and assures us of a better tomorrow. It is therefore essential to stop postponing your degree, and actively start pursuing it!
If Australia is your dream, do not let it go!

A local partner with proven credibility
When it comes to essential services such as healthcare and education, quality, reliability and credibility is synonymous with Nawaloka. The same commitment shown in healthcare, is guaranteed in its venture into education – the Nawaloka College of Higher Studies.
The Nawaloka College of Higher studies (NCHS) is a provider of globally recognised higher education qualifications. Located in the heart of Colombo as well as in Kandy, 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.
The Trusted Path to Australia
NCHS is a guaranteed pathway to Swinburne University of Technology. Located in Australia as well as in Malaysia, the student has the choice of selecting the destination according to personal preference as well as budget.
The pathway programmes offered by the university are specially designed to prepare students for success in their further studies.
On completion of the O/L exams, students can commence their Foundation Year. It is a fast-tracked alternative to conventional A/L exams, and helps students meet the entry requirements for a bachelor degree. The foundation also prepares students with the skills needed for university education, giving them an added advantage.
For students who have completed their A/L exams, the UniLink diplomas provide a direct pathway into the second year of a bachelor degree. This is the ideal path for students who want to pursue an international degree, yet wish to commence in Sri Lanka for reasons such a comfort, finances etc.
Ready to Lead – at Class or Online
In addition to the state-of-the-art facilities located in the heart of Colombo and Kandy, NCHS is also proud to offer online education on par with physical lectures.
“We were quick to act as we were able to use the most up-to-date online learning platforms in association with our affiliated universities.” stated Dr Alan Robertson, Dean of Studies, Nawaloka College of Higher Studies.
As the world is disrupted due to the Covid- 19 pandemic, Nawaloka College is determined that their students do not face any disadvantages and are not left behind. The college strives to maintain its timelines, so that the students will be able to complete their education without additional delays.
“Our students quickly organised themselves to attend the online sessions. Lecturers have adapted their teaching strategies accordingly. In addition to lectures, they ensure that student questions can be addressed during the online sessions. Students have been very active to interact between themselves in relation to group activities such as projects, presentations and team-based assignments” Dr. Robertson explained.
“Students have expressed a high degree of satisfaction with the online teaching and have indicated their appreciation for the hard work of our teaching and administrative staff in making the transition to online learning both quick and effective” Dr. Robertson said.
The best of both Sri Lanka
and Australia
“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 classrooms. This also means that you have full access to the Canvas online system from the start. All of this helps to make the transition as smooth as it can be” explained Senal Ranaweera who transferred to Melbourne in order to complete his degree in International Business.

The study programmes conducted at NCHS are identical to that of Swinburne, Australia and USA and follow the same curriculum, methods of teaching and evaluations, ensuring high quality and international standards.
