When it comes to IT education, the first choice of ambitious students who seek professional qualifications in their chosen field, is Sri Lanka Institute of Information Technology (SLIIT). Staying true to their vision, which is to be a centre of Excellence to foster world class IT professionals to serve the nation and beyond, SLIIT has proven itself beyond expectations.
Established nearly a decade ago to educate and train IT professionals required by the booming IT industry in Sri Lanka, today it is the premier IT degree awarding institute with a faculty of highly qualified dedicated in-house academic staff. SLIIT is recognized by the University Grants Commission under the Universities Act for the awarding of Bachelors & Masters Degrees in the field of IT.
SLIIT conducts programmes of studies for B.Sc. Special Honors Degrees, B.Sc. Degrees, Postgraduate Diplomas, M.Sc. Degrees and a multitude of Professional Development programmes in all significant areas of IT.
The B.Sc. Honours degree which has specializations in Information Technology (IT), Information Systems (IS), Computer Systems & Networking (CS & N) and BBA in Business Management (BM) meets the expectations of the students who have 3 A/L passes, the minimum criteria for entry.
These degree programmes are designed in par with current industry requirements and in close collaboration with foreign partner Universities. This facilitates SLIIT students to develop into world-class professionals.
The B.Sc. degree programme in Information Technology (IT) at SLIIT is especially attractive to students who had more ambitious expectations at GCE Advanced level, and wish to secure a qualification that acts as a springboard for a great future.
M.Sc. degrees can be obtained in Information Technology, Information Management (IM) and Information systems. Students who seek a Master's degree in IT from SLIIT must have a first degree in IT or computer Science while MSc in IM and IS is designed in such way that those who are from a business or other background may also be entitled to achieve Masters Degree status. A unique addition to the Master's programme at SLIIT is the MSc in Enterprise Application Development, designed specially for those involved in Software Engineering to achieve a higher level of performance in the field. The uniqueness of this programme is that it is offered by Sheffield Hallam University, UK and conducted entirely at SLIIT, which allows students to achieve great heights with least cost and without leaving the shores of Sri Lanka.
SLIIT programmes have been of great benefit to students not only to find employment, but also to gain experience. At the end of the first year of study students receive an Associate Diploma; at the end of the second year a Diploma in IT; at the end of the third year an Advanced Diploma or a B.Sc. Degree; at the end of the fourth year the B.Sc. Special Honors degree in IT.
Edexcel U.K., a highly recognized educational outfit in the United Kingdom has accredited the two year programme, enabling students to automatically receive BTEC Higher National Diploma (HND), UK in Computer Science, in Information Technology and in Network Engineering. Needless to say this has opened new vistas for worldwide acceptance for third year students to continue studies and obtain an invaluable degree from a large number of foreign universities in the Edexcel network or universities that have signed academic partnership Agreements with SLIIT which include Curtin University of technology, RMIT University, Swinburne University of Australia and Sheffield Hallam University of UK.
