INTRODUCTION

The Diploma in Information Technology is designed by the Department of Information Technology of Faculty of Social Sciences in pursuit of enhancing the rate of employability of the Arts graduates in Sri Lanka with regard to the emerging deficiency of the professional placements due to the majority of Arts graduates being delivered from the state universities. As the key areas of the industry are automated with the advancement of Information Technology, if a graduate possesses well trained IT skills blended with a sound knowledge, it influences the production of tech savvy graduates while fitting dynamic labor markets.

Vision

To become a pioneer in inculcating  the students to be efficient and effective troubleshooters, innovators, educators, researchers, experts, and entrepreneurs, and making them competent personnel by enabling them to accept the challenges in computing and IT in any work environment.

Mission

Contribute to society by offering high-quality education, extensions and application-oriented programmes with the best infrastructure facilities in IT for achieving the excellence of the student's knowledge, aptitude and creative talents of latest technologies, aiming at highest employability.
