From next year, APIIT will be offering this qualification to students, giving International Foundation Year graduates or other qualified students the option to study the first year of their undergraduate degree in Sri Lanka, before progressing to degree courses at NCUK University Partners in the UK, Australia and New Zealand.

APIIT has had a truly successful first year running NCUK qualifications and we’re delighted that they are expanding their offering to deliver the NCUK International Year One in 2023. Congratulations to all graduating students and good luck to those who are currently studying their first year of their undergraduate degree.
