SLTC- Deakin Partnership since 2020 has flourished especially with the increasing number of SLTC students transferred to Deakin to pursue the final years of their degree programs.
Currently, those students who complete their first year/ first two years at SLTC in the disciplines of Engineering and IT can apply to Deakin, via 2+2 and 1+ 2 transfer programs.
During Eng. Ranjith G. Rubasinghe’s visit to Deakin last December 2022, expressed his interest in expanding the transfer programs for Business and Management degrees. In addition to this, discussions had also been held regarding the availability of opportunities for students who would complete the SLTC Foundation program and then continue the 2+2 transfer program.
