Southern Cross University, NSBM to deliver Australian degrees locally
View(s):Southern Cross University (Australia) and NSBM Green University (Sri Lanka) signed a ground-breaking partnership recently to deliver an offshore programme that will allow Sri Lankan students to earn Australian degrees locally at NSBM – without needing to relocate to Australia.
This collaboration aims to expand access to globally recognised qualifications, enhance academic mobility, and deliver industry-aligned learning, while advancing joint research, enabling staff and student exchange, and strengthening ties between Australia and Sri Lanka, NSBM said in a media release.
“This initiative will provide highly cost-effective, world-class education to Sri Lankan students who can save a substantial amount on tuition and living expenses,” said Associate Dean (International & Engagement) Prof. Darshana Sedera at Southern Cross, who pioneered this programme.
“At NSBM, we will launch the programme with a Bachelor of Business in January 2026, with plans to later expand into information technology and health degrees. The collaboration will also involve Southern Cross University academics from Australia visiting NSBM regularly to deliver face-to-face teaching and engage in impactful research alongside NSBM staff and students,” he added.
The programme will integrate Southern Cross’ innovative SCU Model and high academic standards with NSBM’s strong local infrastructure and faculty support, ensuring students receive the same quality education as their counterparts in Australia.
“This collaboration provides our students with the opportunity to earn an Australian degree locally, equipping them with practical skills and industry-focused knowledge needed to succeed in a global economy and be workforce-ready,” said Prof. E.A. Weerasinghe, Vice-Chancellor at NSBM Green University.
