The Education Centre of Australia (ECA) is proud to announce the expansion of their international collaborations with Mapúa University through a Dual Degree and Pathways Program.
ECA and Mapúa began their collaboration with a Short Study Program to Australia in June of 2018. The two institutions have now expanded their partnership which aims to provide global education opportunities to Filipino students. Both organizations grow internationally. Mapúa intensifies its linkages in the international academic arena, while ECA continues to expand its operations in the Philippines.
These new programs will be offered in a blended learning mode on the Mapúa campuses. The first such course to be offered is the internationally-recognized Master of Business and Project Management. This is a unique course designed to develop strategic business management coupled with project management expertise.
The Dual Degree program offers students the opportunity to obtain both a local and an international degree while studying in the Philippines. As students study the program within the Mapúa campus, they are also introduced to, learn, and understand the Australian educational system and its international curriculum. This program provides students with the opportunity to pathway to Australia in order to complete their studies.
This collaboration serves as a gateway for students wishing to study at some of the world’s leading universities. Completing an international degree while studying locally means significant savings in the overall cost package for tuition fees and living costs abroad.
Careers in project management are in high demand nowadays around the world, this program presents a significant opportunity to further career plans.
