SLIIT, the premier degree awarding institute, continues to strengthen its ties with foreign universities in order to provide students with a broad scope of academic opportunities, both locally and globally. SLIIT has now commenced enrolment of students for the undergraduate degree programs of Curtin University, Australia and Liverpool John Moores University, UK. Applications will close on 2 February and the aptitude test will be held on 5 February 2017.

Ranked in the top 2% worldwide by the 2016 Academic Ranking of World Universities, Curtin University, has partnered with SLIIT since 2002. Curtin offers degrees in the disciplines of Engineering and Computing in partnership with SLIIT. The four-year degrees offered are the Bachelor of Engineering (Hons) degree in Civil and Construction Engineering, Computer Systems Engineering, Electrical Power Engineering and Mechanical Engineering.

The admission requirement for the Engineering degrees is three passes, including a pass in Mathematics or Physics at the GCE A/L examination (Sri Lanka/London) in one and the same sitting and a pass at the aptitude test conducted by SLIIT.

Furthermore, the SLIIT-Curtin University partnership paves the way for students to obtain a three-year Bachelor of Science degree in Computing in the streams of Software Engineering, Computer Systems and Networking and Information Technology.

The admission requirement for the Computing undergraduate degrees is three passes at the GCE A/L examination (Sri Lanka/London) in one and the same sitting and a pass at the aptitude test conducted by SLIIT. For Computer Systems and Networking, applicants must have a pass in Mathematics or physics. Students who have obtained three passes in the A/L Engineering Technology stream are also eligible to apply for the Computer Systems and Networking program.

“We have created a learning and research environment with optimum resources which encourage students to be innovative and committed towards excellence. Students have the option of completing their degrees either in Sri Lanka or at the respective partner university,” commented SLIIT President and CEO Prof. Lalith Gamage.

Enhancing its foreign ties, SLIIT recently partnered with Liverpool John Moores University; one of the largest universities in the UK. This recent collaboration gives students the opportunity to either study Architecture or Quantity Surveying.

The complete study of architecture will require three years of full time education. The degree will cover areas ranging from Architectural Design, Environment Urbanism, CAD and Construction Technology. Students interested in enrolling in the program will require minimum three passes at the GCE A/L examination (Sri Lanka/London).

Quantity surveying is one of the most sought after degree programs in Sri Lanka due to the immense construction projects. This three year degree program which is awarded by Liverpool John Moores University will cover subject area ranging from measurement, estimating and costing. Students interested in enrolling in the program will require minimum three passes at the GCE A/L examination (Sri Lanka/London).
