Dr. Mahesha Kapurubandara Dean/Student Affairs
To a student adding new knowledge to the existing pool of knowledge is very important. Contemporary academic disciplines consider research skills to be an essential skill since knowledge domains change rapidly, making one's knowledge obsolete if one does not adapt to the habit of gathering new knowledge. Research skills in undergraduates help them to be competitive and survive in academia as well as in industry. Hands on experience in research and research methodology have been successfully integrated to the undergraduate and postgraduate curricula to inculcate research skills in students. Success with this integration has been evidenced on many occasions with SLIIT winning numerous accolades like Microsoft Imagine cup, the Asia pacific ICT alliance award, and the national best quality software award many times in the recent past. In addition, both undergraduate and postgraduate students have published and presented research papers in many local and foreign research forums. SLIIT thrives to be the best academic institution to impart research skills in graduates for a remarkable learning experience. Dr.Koliya Pulasinghe Dean/ Postgraduate studies and Research

SLIIT Bachelor of Business Administration Special Honours Degree and Diploma Programmes The BBA Special Honours Degree programme SLIIT is of 4 years, duration with two semesters per year. Four to five courses are conducted during a semester carrying a total of 16-20 credits.
A course carries 3 credits when it involves 3 student contact hours each week, or 4 credits when it involves 4 - 4½ student contact hours each week, for a semester. The design of the degree programme allows a student to earn: - An Associate Diploma in Business Management after successful completion of the first year. - A Diploma in Business Management after successful completion of two years. - An Advanced Diploma in Business Management after successful completion of three years. Graduate with a -BBA Special Honours Degree with a specialization in one of the following specializations: Human Capital Management, Accounting and Finance, Quality Management, Marketing Management , Management Information Systems. Candidates who exit each programme after successfully completing different levels can re-join after a spell of employment or training in industry, or leave of absence, at the appropriate level, subject to necessary registration procedure and approval by SLIIT. Rules relating to the advance from one stage to the other will be as determined by SLIIT . Completion of the Associate Diploma level, apart from developing requisite communication skills, will also enable the student to gain an overall conceptual grasp of the theoretical academic content, thus forming a solid base on which to develop an understanding of the advanced modules presented in later years. The Diploma level covers a broader range of theory, equipping the student with the knowledge and skills necessary to work in industry at a junior executive or technician level.

www.sliit.lk
The advanced inputs provided in the third year will make the Advanced Diploma the student qualifies for, the equivalent of a General Degree. It is on this solid foundation that a student will commence the fourth year of specialized study for completion of the BBA Special Honours Degree. This allows a student to concentrate on one specialized area of study from among the five currently available; ensuring that at graduation, the student has acquired a comprehensive range of analytical, creative, quantitative and communication skills along with a holistic view of organizations. It will certainly enable them to arrive at sound decisions when grappling with real world challenges that face modern business enterprises.
The BBA Special Honours Degree is awarded by SLIIT as approved by the University Grants Commission under the Universities Act.

Moreover, electives that are available in the final year allow a student an avenue for further specialization in a selected field.
Marketing Management Human Capital Management The Degree Programme specializing in Human Capital Management (HCM) covers the theoretical foundation of HCM whilst providing a sound appreciation of other related business disciplines. The programme will further provide students with the knowledge, skills and social awareness necessary to manage people, whether nationally, or internationally. As the name implies, people need to be viewed not just as a resource, but rather, as a capital asset available to an organization. From this point of view, therefore, managing people is concerned with much more than just personnel, or human resources management. It is
As competition intensifies, marketers have come to realize that marketing only their products and services no longer suffices, and that they also need to market their respective organizations; a more holistic concept by far. The programme will enable the student to gain an entirely new perspective; viewing the organization and its offers from the point of view of a customer. Starting with the universally applicable fundamentals, the special programme will provide the student an in-depth knowledge of the art and science of marketing as is practised in today's competitive business environment.
therefore more concerned with development, retention and motivation, building teams, and getting them to work towards a common objective. That there is a growing awareness of the importance of the function by businesses both large and small is evidenced by the increasingly competitive levels of pay offered to HCM professionals.Moreover, availability of HCM positions continues to grow in tandem with international expansion of business. Our graduates can therefore look forward to excellent career prospects.

SLIIT BBA Special Honours Degree and Diploma Programmes Specializations :
Quality Management As globalization continues apace, traditional methods of managing a business are no longer adequate. Enhanced competition compels on-going improvement of all aspects of an organization. A quality philosophy based on continuous improvement is mandated. Only then could an organization thrive in the long term. While providing the theoretical knowledge base required, the Degree Programme specializing in Quality Management builds on this solid foundation through a comprehensive input ranging from statistical analysis, and other Japanese inspired techniques to total quality management, within both service and manufacturing related industries. Practical inputs such as quality auditing, ISO certification and Six Sigma are also covered, thus providing the student with an allembracing grasp of the subject.
Management Information Systems
Rapid development of Information Technology has enabled the development of more efficient and effective management techniques. Building on business management inputs, the MIS specialization allows the students to gain up-to-date knowledge on the theoretical and practical aspects of using, developing, and managing information systems within organizations. As organizations become ever more dependent on information technology, which itself is improving at a rapid pace, organizations will increasingly need managers with a sound grasp of the complexities and potentialities inherent within the discipline. There is no doubt that future managers will need more than a nodding acquaintance with IT; exactly what the programme is designed to provide.

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 programming research among the academic and student communities. Integrating research methodology to undergraduate and postgraduate curricula, establishing a research center 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 carry out staff and student research. It brings together researchers of various outside. The annual SLIIT Research Symposium 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 activity 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. SLIIT research seminar sessions will provide all academics a platform to present their research work. The seminar will be organized by a SLIIT research seminar committee which is spearheaded by Head/SLIIT Research Center. This committee organizes workshops to guide SLIIT post graduate students to improve their skill in research. SLIIT Research center at Malabe Campus provides a good study environment, computer facilities to browse online research articles and is freely available for research discussions.

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.

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.

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 of books and study materials, which was an immense help during my exams. It is indeed a privilege to have been a part of SLIIT family.

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.
