Sri Lanka Technological Campus (also known as SLT Campus or SLTC) is a Degree Awarding Institute in Sri Lanka specializing in the areas of electronics, telecommunications and computing. It offers four year Bachelor degrees in Engineering and Technology.
Founded in 2015 as a subsidiary of Sri Lanka Telecom (SLT), its main campus is located at the former Satellite Station premises in Padukka, a beautifully landscaped 36 acre land. SLT Campus's School of Professional Studies is located at the Trace Expert City in Colombo. It is the first corporate powered, fully residential non-state university in Sri Lanka. Through Sri Lanka Telecom, it comes under the Ministry of Telecommunication and Digital Infrastructure. SLTC was started as a response to the increasing demands from the industry to produce graduates who can readily be absorbed into the workforce.
SLTC stresses on close industrial partnerships for its academic and research programs and maintains a good ratio of industry experts and academics for the delivery of its curriculum. There are two schools at SLTC; School of Engineering and School of Technology and the curriculums are fashioned after the global standards set by Washington Accord for Engineering degrees and Sydney Accord for Technology degrees. Delivery of the curriculum follows the modern pedagogical methods such as Outcome-Based Education (OBE) and Problem-Based Learning (PBL).
In 2017, it was recognized as a degree-awarding institution by the Ministry of Higher Education and Highways, with a gazette notification indicating it could grant a BSc Engineering degree in the fields of power, electronic, ICT and telecommunication engineering.[1]
SLTC functions as a fully owned subsidiary of SLT. Therefore, SLTC comes under the Ministry of Telecommunication and Digital Infrastructure. Also, our Engineering Degree programmes are fully accredited by the Ministry of Higher Education and Highways and recognised by the university grants commission (UGC).
