Message of Head of the Department

Economics plays a central role in explaining a wide range of social phenomena and maintains strong interconnections with other academic disciplines. It primarily examines how individuals, groups, and nations allocate scarce resources to achieve economic efficiency, growth, and social welfare. Therefore, the systematic study of economics is essential for those seeking a deeper understanding of socio-economic dynamics, human behavior, and the functioning of the global economy.

The Department of Economics of the Faculty of Social Sciences at the University of Kelaniya stands as one of the pioneering academic units of the University. Established in 1959 alongside the founding of Vidyalankara University, the Department has sustained a strong tradition of academic excellence and intellectual contribution for over six decades.
