The dual degree agreement allows students enrolled in Symbiosis Centre for Management Studies, Bengaluru (SCMS-B), a constituent of Symbiosis International (Deemed University) to articulate into Deakin University, with recognition for prior learning achieved at SCMS-B. This offering will allow students to study first two years at SCMS-B and the subsequent two years at Deakin University. After two years at each institution, students earn dual degrees, combining Deakin’s global connection and research excellence with Symbiosis’s dynamic learning environment.
This 2+2 dual degree program will allow the students to obtain a Bachelor of Business Administration degree from SCMS-B and a Bachelor of Business Analytics degree from Deakin University. At SCMS-B the students will be offered exciting options to pursue majors, minors, multidisciplinary, and Ability and Skill enhancement courses. Students can choose majors and minors from Marketing, Finance and Human Resources. As the students transition to Deakin University, they will be exposed to a world of analytics, offering them a basket of core and elective units. The new offerings will extend brilliant opportunities for ambitious Indian students to get a two-year work visa (Extension is subject to the policy changes of the Australian Government), opening avenues for global career outcomes. The ease of mobility and accessibility is being facilitated by the two institutions in alignment with their commitment to providing quality education, skilling, and research pathways to help shape successful future outcomes for Indian students.
