As against approximately A$124,000 you need to spend for 4 years you spend only about A$ 73,000 to get the same degree with the same certificate and with the same end result by doing half of the course in Sri Lanka. This is a substantial saving.

Some of the other advantages are;

n Since the first two years of the course is conducted over only 18 months at CINEC, the actual time to graduate with an honors degree is shortened by 6 months compared to those who join UniSA from the inception. This is thus an accelerated pathway.

Studying the first 2 years in their own home atmosphere in Sri Lanka helps them to make the adjustments gradually to life in Australia and proceed to Australia for the third year with more maturity & confidence.
