Sri Lanka Institute of Information Technology (SLIIT) is the premier Higher Education
Institute in the field of Information and Communication Technology in Sri Lanka
producing high quality graduates with a high level of employability. With the objective
of developing SLIIT into a multidisciplinary institute, we commenced a Business

industry requirements.
While majority of our students complete their degrees at SLIIT they also have the option of transferring to any of the SLIIT
overseas partner Universities after completing two or two and half years of study at SLIIT to graduate from a partner
university. For this purpose SLIIT has partnered with universities such as Curtin University of Technology, Monash
University, RMIT University, Swinburne University, all of Australia, Sheffield Hallam University UK, Kwantlen Polytechnic
University, Canada and Edexcel UK, an establishment which permits entry into over 100 Universities and Institutes in UK,
Australia USA and several other countries.
We place great emphasis on the quality of our education and of our graduates. In addition to recruiting and retaining
highly qualified and experienced academic staff, we continuously enhance our infrastructure and improve the curricula to
ensure the high standards of our academic programmes. Further we offer a number of soft skills programmes to improve
communications skills in order that our graduates have a higher level of employability.
SLIIT also conducts a number of industry certified development programmes in collaboration with Microsoft, IBM, and
CISCO systems.
SLIIT has a current enrollment of over 4000 students for our B.Sc. degree programmes and another 1000 students for our

Research and Development Facilities
SLIIT Research facilities

As a leading tertiary educational institute in Sri Lanka,
research is an integral part of SLIIT. We strive for a vibrant
research culture and numerous initiatives are in place for
promoting research among the academic and student
communities. Integrating research methodology to
undergraduate and postgraduate curricula, establishing a
research centre to carry out research work, the SLIIT research
grant scheme are all meant to promote research.
Research methodology is a compulsory module for all

postgraduate and undergraduate programs at SLIIT. This
aims to inculcate skills to acquire new knowledge which is
of paramount importance in the field of Information
Technology where the body of knowledge grows
exponentially. All students complete a comprehensive
research project under the guidance of SLIIT staff members.
Generally undergraduate students work in groups to fulfill
this compulsory requirement while masters students take up
individual projects.
The SLIIT Research Centre, overseen by a committee of senior

academics/researchers, provides facilities to carryout staff
and student research. It brings together researchers of various
disciplines related to IT and its applications from SLIIT and
outside. The annual SLIIT Research Symposium normally
held in December is the showcase of research activities, not
only confined to SLIIT but open to other researchers of the
region as well. The five best research projects from both
undergraduate and postgraduate categories are presented at
this symposium. The SLIIT Research Symposium is open to
any institution actively involved in research in IT and allied
disciplines.
As for research by academics the latest initiative is providing a

substantial research grant scheme. All academics are clustered
into a research team headed by a senior researcher. The senior
researchers as the principle investigators are eligible for the
SLIIT annual research grants. These grants can be freely
utilized for research related purposes such as accessing useful
research resources (e.g. on-line journals) and participation in
conferences. Last year, SLIIT academic teams published four
journal papers and, 16 conference papers in international
conferences.

SLIIT ALUMNI Success Stories
I stepped on to the new millennium with a heap of expectations. With the ambition
of fulfilling these expectations, I joined the Sri Lanka Institute of Information Technology.
Today, as I look back on those four years, I do not regret my decision since SLIIT
has given me the perfect background to broaden my knowledge through proper
guidance and by getting exposure to the latest technologies. With several degree
programs on offer, SLIIT caters to the demands of IT professionals with a positive
attitude and a success oriented approach.
Last but not least it is a great pleasure to express my sincere gratitude to all the
lecturers and the staff members who guided us along on our journey towards success.

It was a wonderful and a memorable experience to study at SLIIT.

From the beginning to the end of my Bachelor's Degree studies, SLIIT
has guided and equipped me with invaluable experience and knowledge
to deal with the future challenges of the emerging IT industry.
I completed my Curtin Degree at SLIIT. SLIIT helped me to develop my

professional abilities and attitudes which I needed to be a successful IT
Professional. At SLIIT classes were conducted by highly competent
lecturers and they assisted me in numerous ways during my studies.
The library at SLIIT provided me with a comprehensive range Thisari Serasinghe, Dip IT (SLIIT)

It is indeed a privilege to have been a part of SLIIT family. Millennium Information Technologies
After completing my Advanced Level at school, I was passionate to study Information

Technology. Besides, IT profession encompasses many aspects of Computing and Technology;
it has a wide scope of career opportunities. Therefore, I enrolled at SLIIT as an undergraduate
student in Information Technology. I knew that this path would eventually lead me to a promising
career and open doors to many opportunities such as studying in Australia. I chose to complete
my final year at Curtin University in Perth, Australia, which gave me the opportunity to divert
my studies in to more interesting and demanding areas of Information Technology. In 2004, I
graduated with a Bachelor degree in Information Technology and Systems earning a double
major from Curtin University of Technology, Perth, Australia.
Currently I am working in Western Australia as an IT Incident Management Controller for the
