Why follow GDSE after A/L's?
Can you master more than 10 Major
Modules
in your IT Related Degree before
entering into the university? Interested??
You worked so hard and finally, you have got a chance to enter into a university to pursue your Higher Education dream. Well, everything seems okay up to now, right? But unfortunately, it is not a smooth path like we heard countless times in the A/L classes from tuition teachers. After entering into the university for your IT related degree, you will have to follow countless new modules that you have never heard of. So, it will be quite hard to understand them at the beginning, and to make things even worse you are in a very competitive environment now where everyone is willing to try to get a good GPA. But don't worry we have your back.
So what is the solution?
Let us break it down for you. GDSE is a unique fast track training program to boost and enhance the knowledge of the “to be undergraduates” and present undergraduates. GDSE 1st Semester & GDSE 2nd Semester is built from scratch to ensure 100% success inside the campus. We ensure that you can cover more than ten major modules in your degree within the GDSE program which helps you to get ahead and show colors in front of your other colleagues. Apart from that, there are many other benefits as well. Such as the ability to develop projects while doing campus projects and studies, ensuring the confidence needed for upcoming internships, in which most of them are not provided by the campus itself. After finishing the A/L’s, it takes only 6 months to complete the 1st Semester of GDSE, thus it will not be another baggage to your campus life.

If you are Tired of the Conventional Higher
Education Path, but you still want to be a Software
Engineer. Don't
worry we have your back.
Okay, we get it. You don't like the conventional Higher Education Path in Sri Lanka. Well, that could be due to many reasons. Maybe you are so tired of repeating A/L again and again, maybe you lack enough financial background to pursue your Higher Education or maybe you just don't like the traditional path to be a Software Engineer in Sri Lanka. If that sounds familiar to you, don't worry you are in the right place. Because IJSE has the experience of consulting thousands of students like you. Okay, enough talking. Let's get to the point, the truth is that the traditional path to be a Software Engineer in Sri Lanka, well it sucks.
So what is the solution?
Well, let us show you the Specialty of the Graduate Diploma in Software Engineering over other courses and diplomas. GDSE is a Fast Track Training Program, which takes only 2 years to complete (excluding the top-up degree). From these two years, the first year is totally dedicated to full-time study and the second year is full-time industry placement with part-time studying. And most importantly, an industry placement is a guaranteed process at IJSE, as we have a lot of software companies requesting for software engineers, due to the higher standards and recognition at IJSE. If you compare it with the traditional way of higher education, such as degrees, they usually take around 4 to 5 valuable years to complete and leaves you with only limited industry exposure. Comparative to that, GDSE is a more industry-based degree program, which enables students to tackle real-world industry problems without any issue. Because of this matter, after GDSE, students have enough experience and confidence to face any interview without issues.
Is that all? What about the Degree?
No, you are right. Higher Education is a dream and a crucial period for a student's life, where the most memorable things in life happen. It is the main head start and the core for a professional career after your secondary education. IJSE offers a degree program especially for students who have completed GDSE, a UK Top-up Degree program from a reputed university as a Part-time Study module in the 3rd year. Altogether, GDSE along with the top-up degree program takes 3 years, as an outcome for 3 years you have
Outcome = (SE Title) + (Salary Ranging from Rs.100,000 to Rs.200,000) + (2 Year Plus Working Experience) + (UK Degree)
