Raffles Colombo in Sri Lanka will offer the Raffles College of Design and Commerce (RCDC) Bachelor of Design degree, with specialisations in fashion design, interior design and multimedia design, commencing 30 September 2013.
In addition, for the first time, Raffles Colombo will also offer a one-year Foundation Program for O/Level students who are interested in pursuing degree programs in design.
These new offerings will help students jump start a career in the international design industry.
The RCDC Bachelor of Design degree complies with the Australian Qualifications Framework (AQF), is accredited by the Australian Government through the Tertiary Education Quality and Standards Agency (TEQSA), and is recognised by all Australian universities.
