SLIIT is proud to announce that its School of Architecture’s B.Sc. (Hons) Architecture Degree Program offered through its academic partnership with Liverpool John Moores University (LJMU), UK recently received validation and recognition as a listed school from the Sri Lanka Institute of Architects (SLIA), the country’s apex body on Architecture.

“We are delighted to have received this validation status from the Sri Lanka Institute of Architects (SLIA), the country’s apex body on Architecture, complementing the global exposure our students receive through the Liverpool John Moores University qualification. This validation is also a testimony of the high quality of education and quest for excellence at SLIIT and our School of Architecture, indicative of our commitment to continuous improvement, presenting exciting opportunities to budding architects,” said Archt. Aishani Jayasinghe Head of the School of Architecture at SLIIT.

Additionally, SLIIT is delighted to note that the entire first batch of architecture students who graduated from Liverpool John Moores University, UK recently received honours passes ensuring they have reached international standards with recognition and exposure on a global scale.

SLIIT’s School of Architecture and its programs were established under the guidance of and continues to be guided by Vidyajyothi Prof. Nimal De Silva, Emeritus Professor of Architecture, University of Moratuwa, who was also the Former Dean of the Faculty of Architecture, University of Moratuwa.

Furthermore, the Architecture program is taught by highly experienced and eminent Chartered Architects, academics and subject specialists armed with a wealth of local and international experience in practice and teaching.

With the high demand and enthusiasm from students towards studying architecture at SLIIT, the school has increased its capacity in terms of facilities and staff.

Accommodating this expansion, in September 2018, the SLIIT School of Architecture moved to its brand new state-of-the-art facility with in-house studios, labs and working areas which are of international standard.

These facilities will undoubtedly provide Sri Lankan students with an experience of studying at a truly international university without leaving local shores.

The study in Architecture consists of five years of formal Architectural education. The SLIIT School of Architecture offers the complete path in two stages - as a three-year Bachelor Degree in Architecture and a two-year Master Degree in Architecture.
