BIT Degrees

The BIT Degree from the University of Colombo School of Computing focuses on producing graduates in the Software Development field, and the Graduates are in high demand with local and foreign organizations offering them placement / employment even before their results are officially released.
ESOFT has been conducting classes for BIT ever since its inception in the year 2000. Our commitment to quality and performance is exemplified by the fact that our students produce some of the best results as ESOFT has produced several Gold Medal winners.

ESOFT is also a Collaborative Partner of the University of Moratuwa for conducting classes for the BIT Degree that is being offered.

BCS Higher Education qualifications

Students that complete all three levels namely the Certificate, Diploma, and Professional Graduate Diploma together with the Project are awarded a qualification which is equivalent to a UK Honours Degree.

It is therefore one of the quickest ways in which a student can obtain a qualification that is accepted as an enabler for proceeding to a Master's Degree. Those who are currently employed in various sectors will also find the BCS qualifications helpful in the climb up the corporate ladder.

A few of the key points for a student selecting BCS are as follows:

Even students who have completed their O/L exams can gain entry

Fast Track - BCS can be completed in as little as 18 months or less, compared to a degree.

Cost of completion is approximately Rs. 250,000 whereas a Degree from a foreign university would cost Rs. 500,000+.

Further advancement is possible as a student may go on to apply for a Master's Degree from reputed international universities or Sri Lankan Universities.
