CICRA Campus launches four new programmes under its newly established Business Faculty: Bachelor of Accounting (Hons), Bachelor of Education (Early Childhood) Hons, Bachelor of Business Administration and International Foundation Programme in partnership with Asia e University, Malaysia. 

Approved by the Malaysian Qualifications Agency (MQA), these programmes meet international standards and boost educational opportunities in Sri Lanka.

Asia e University Founder President Prof. Dato Dr. Ansary added that this partnership reflects Asia e University’s commitment to empowering students in Sri Lanka with internationally recognised qualifications and practical industry experience, thereby enhancing their professional prospects and contributing to the nation’s educational development.

The Bachelor of Accounting (Hons) combines academic rigor with professional accreditation, offering exemptions from nine ACCA modules and leading to potential recognition as Chartered Accountants by CA Sri Lanka after three years of post-qualification work experience. Students will have internship opportunities with leading audit firms, including Ernst & Young.

The Bachelor of Education (Early Childhood) Hons is designed for careers in early childhood education, providing practical industry experience alongside academic studies. Students can gain three years of practical experience by graduation, with lectures scheduled after regular school hours.

The Bachelor of Business Administration offers a cost-effective pathway to a foreign degree in Sri Lanka, opening career opportunities in marketing, sales, logistics and entrepreneurship. The first cohort will begin in July 2024, with three annual intakes planned.

Students completing the Ordinary Level exam can enrol in the International Foundation Programme, which serves as a bridge to higher education.

CICRA Campus, a pioneer in cybersecurity education, continues to deliver top-tier international education through partnerships with prestigious universities worldwide, including Deakin University, Wrexham University, Melbourne Polytechnic and Asia e University. 

CICRA Campus Group Director/CEO Boshan Dayaratne stated, “Our primary aim with this partnership is to encourage students to achieve global qualifications locally and to curtail brain drain. The new programmes  are designed to provide essential industry training alongside studies, facilitated by partnerships with world-renowned organisations.”
