  
Southern Cross University and NSBM Green University have expanded their academic collaboration with the launch of Sri Lanka’s first-ever double degree program, establishing a new benchmark for international higher education in the country.
The partnership brings together the Australian public university and Sri Lanka’s state-affiliated green campus to deliver integrated dual-qualification programs. The initiative allows undergraduates to pursue concurrent curricula, earning qualifications recognized both locally and internationally without having to relocate entirely overseas.
Key Developments
- Formal introduction of Sri Lanka’s inaugural dual-institution double degree offering.
- Strengthened institutional ties between Australia’s Southern Cross University and NSBM Green University.
- Expansion of transnational academic pathways and globally recognized degree credentials within Sri Lanka.
The academic venture represents an important structural evolution in the domestic tertiary education landscape, broadening accessible pathways to foreign degree credentials while consolidating institutional partnerships across the Indian Ocean rim.
