ESOFT is renowned for making waves with innovative educational products in Sri Lanka and this is no exception. Moving from one accomplishment to another, ESOFT has entered into a collaboration with the Buckinghamshire New University to offer Honours Degrees and Masters Degrees for Sri Lankan students.

ESOFT leads the market in Sri Lanka for Professional ICT qualifications due to the marketshare it enjoys for the BCS Professional Examinations in IT as well as the BIT Degree of the University of Colombo School of Computing. ESOFT would not take much time to reach the pinnacle of this latest offering as well.

With roots going back to the year 2000, ESOFT is headed by a dynamic team of academics who are constantly on the lookout for great products for the Sri Lankan market. The inauguration ceremony for the tie-up was held at the Grand Ballroom of the Galadari Hotel on the 26th of May amidst a large gathering of distinguished invitees, with much fanfare.

The Programmes are being launched in Colombo and Kandy initially, and we hope to extend the programmes to more centres around the country in order to take our educational products to the widest possible market.

Dr. Dayan Rajapakse is the CEO / MD of ESOFT, and he had the following to say, when we asked for a few words on the occasion of the launch.

“ESOFT is truly proud to offer these programmes to our students. It provides the opportunity for academic advancement and will be value for money when compared with what’s already available.”

The Learning experience at ESOFT will be unique as students will receive specially prepared text books for each module, and will have access to our dedicated full time academic panel and other valuable resources.

ESOFT is officially commencing classes in September with the Masters Degree in Information Systems for Strategic Management, and the top-up B.A. (Hons) in Business and Finance. A B.Sc. (Hons) Degree in Business and IT will commence in January of next year. One of the reasons for the success of ESOFT students is the unmatched quality of the resources that we offer. ESOFT has a dedicated full-time academic panel including those with Degrees and Masters, as well as professional qualifications. Students will also have unlimited access to our state of the art computer laboratory with more than 50 workstations as well as high speed Internet Connectivity and Library facilities.

Our students are gainfully employed by some of the largest players in the ICT industry due to their high knowledge and skills in par with the qualifications that they possess. We pride ourselves in offering high quality course delivery, whilst the respective professional or academic body conducts the examination.
