DIMO offers local students a gateway to 700+ German degrees

DIMO, one of the leading conglomerates in Sri Lanka with over 30 years of excellence in Vocational Education through its DIMO Academy for Technical Skills (DATS), has recently been appointed as the local representative for FH Aachen University, Germany‘s No. 1 University for Applied Sciences.

Sri Lankan students can now enrol at the world-renowned freshman program of FH Aachen, leading to internationally-recognized Bachelor’s degree programmes in state and private universities in the state of North Rhine Westphalia, Germany.

With this new venture DIMO will facilitate placement of local students for Engineering, Medicine, Business / Economics, Art and many more degree programmes offered by FH Aachen University of Applied Sciences, as well as several other partner universities such as SRH Hamm, South Westphalia University of Applied Sciences, University of Duisburg Essen, and HBK Essen University of Fine Arts.

DIMO Chairman & Managing Director Ranjith Pandithage stated, “DATS has been able to transform the vocational training landscape in Sri Lanka since its inception. With over three decades of vocational training excellence, the next bold step for DIMO was to offer the opportunity of a world-class academic qualification for Sri Lankan youth so that those who wish to pursue degree-level higher studies have a pathway to do so in order to boost their knowledge and careers.”

Through this new partnership, local students now have the opportunity to select from over 700 Bachelor’s degree programmes targeting their desired career path. All the degree programs will be conducted in Germany and students will have the opportunity to continue their degree programmes in English or in German languages. DIMO will help students to choose the correct degree programme that fits their dream career path by analysing their current qualifications through an initial screening process. The company will also individually guide the students on applying for the university, with the required documentation.
