Launching New Cyber Security Degree
Sri Lanka Institute of Information Technology (SLIIT), a pioneering non-state higher education institute in Sri Lanka, has expanded its long-standing partnership with Curtin University, Australia to offer Curtin University full degree programmes in Computing and Engineering at the SLIIT INTERNATIONALCampus in Colombo. Sri Lankan students can now complete a full Australian university degree in Sri Lanka.
This is a blessing for Sri Lankan students when overseas travel for higher education is not an option due to health and security concerns. However, students enrolling in Curtin University degree programmes at SLIIT INTERNATIONAL will have the opportunity to transfer to Curtin Campuses in Australia, if they wish, when international travel becomes feasible.
Curtin is a world-renowned university ranked in the top 1% of universities globally by the Academic Ranking of World Universities (ARWU – 2021). This makes Curtin University the highest ranked university to offer Computing and Engineering degrees for completion in Sri Lanka.
SLIIT is a leading non-state higher education institute in Sri Lanka approved by the University Grants Commission/ Ministry of Education to offer degrees in several disciplines. SLIIT Faculty of Computing is the largest Computing faculty in the country and has been in operation for more than 20 years.
Not surprisingly, SLIIT Computing graduates comprise more that 65% of the ICT workforce in Sri Lanka.
Sri Lankan students now have the privilege of completing a Computing degree of Curtin University with SLIIT, a pioneer in IT education, at the state-of-the-art SLIIT International Campus in Colombo.
