Saegis University Campus, a sister institution of Sakya Education Group recently joined hands with Australia’s Deakin University to bring world class education to Sri Lanka. Located in Nugegoda, the fully equipped, government approved modern campus endeavours to produce globally employable, highly skilled graduates who are sought after by employers. With only 17% of those who qualify for university education gaining admission to state universities, each year thousands of qualified students are forced to abandon their dreams of entering a state university. Saegis Campus has been established with the intension of filling up this void, and to make quality tertiary education a possibility for all students.

Deakin University remains the most popular choice amongst Sri Lankan students who choose Australia for their higher studies. Saegis Campus now provides pathways to several high-demand degrees offered by Deakin University. The degrees on offer are drawn from the fields of Accounting, Finance, Financial Planning, Business Information Systems and Business Analytics. The list is bound to grow in the near future as the relationship with Saegis and Deakin University is expected to grow. After successful completion of two years of studies at Saegis Campus, the students can choose to complete the degrees of Bachelor of Commerce in Management, Bachelor of Commerce in Accounting, Bachelor of Commerce in Financial Planning and Bachelor of Commerce in Business Analytics at Deakin University. At present, the students have the choice of completing these degrees by studying a minimum of one calendar year (in three trimesters) at Deakin University in Australia.

Speaking of the new affiliation with Deakin University, the Chairman of the Sakya Group of Higher Education, Mr Bandara Dissanayake said, “Deakin University is one of the top universities in the world and we have the privilege of providing local students the opportunity to access world class qualifications in Sri Lanka at an affordable price.”

Saegis Campus is dedicated to producing academically qualified, competent, individuals who can take up challenges. Air conditioned lecture theatres, auditoriums and IT laboratories equipped with internet access and modern audio-visual appliances, student lounge and canteen, sports and recreational facilities are a few of the attractive facilities offered at Saegis Campus. Saegis’ mission is to provide relevant, quality education in a comfortable and friendly environment at an affordable price. Saegis Campus also arranges student loan facilities through leading commercial banks and provides preparatory English courses at very reasonable prices for students who need a good foundation in English.
