Navigating Life as an International Student
View(s):Embarking on a journey from Sri Lanka to Australia for higher education is a transformative experience for many students, including Bhanuka Kodikara, a proud graduate of Swinburne University of Technology. His story reflects the seamless transition facilitated by Nawaloka College of Higher Studies (NCHS), which partnered with Swinburne to offer globally recognised qualifications right here in Sri Lanka.
A New Chapter Down Under
Bhanuka reminisces, “Even during my first year at Nawaloka College, I was already a registered student at Swinburne, Australia. Life in Australia is vastly different from my days in Sri Lanka.” He pursued a Bachelor of Information and Communication Technology majoring in Business Systems, which prepared him for his current roles as a business analyst at IT Solution Gippsland and CEO of SIG Base Systems Australia. His success in finding part-time work in Melbourne was aided by social media groups connecting job seekers with opportunities.
The NCHS Advantage
Nawaloka College of Higher Studies (NCHS), located in Colombo, stands as a beacon of quality education in Sri Lanka.

Partnering with institutions like Swinburne University of Technology, NCHS ensures that students receive world-class education locally before transitioning seamlessly to Swinburne’s campuses in Australia or Malaysia.
Swinburne University of Technology
Reflecting on his experience, Bhanuka highlights, “As NCHS is an affiliated college, you are basically a student at Swinburne but with more help from 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 blackboard online system from the start. All of this helps to make the transition as smooth as it can be.” Swinburne University of Technology, renowned for its innovation and industry-focused education, provides a vibrant learning environment in Melbourne and Malaysia.
A Tailored Educational Experience
