The SLTC Engineering degree program offered by the Engineering Faculty is an ideal opportunity for aspiring students.

Students have the option of transferring to a top tier foreign university after two years or to complete the four-year degree program offered by SLTC.

“We are extremely satisfied with the outcome of our first year,” said SLTC Head of Operations Miran Fernando. “We have had time to overcome teething problems and now the students and staff alike have settled in very well at our Padukka campus.” The SLTC signed a Letter of Intent with UK’s Lancaster University, which will enable both parties to offer a 2+2 undergraduate Engineering program leading to a degree awarded by Lancaster University. The proposal means that the first two years of the programme would be taught at SLTC, Sri Lanka and the final two years at Lancaster University in the UK.
