Bachelor of Science (External) Degree Programme in Electronics and
Automation Technologies
Last updated: 20220730
Introduction
BSc (External) in Electronics and Automation Technologies degree is designed for students aspiring to become a
professional in the field of electronics and automation. Students pursuing this degree will not only learn fundamentals
related to Electronics, Programming, Physics, Mathematics, and Statistics but also develop practical skills required to
become competitive in the emerging technologically advanced job markets such as IoT. Development of soft skills is
embedded in the curriculum enabling our students to approach problems scientifically, to be innovative and to
become confident leaders in technology driven global businesses.
Rationale
Sri Lanka currently enjoys rapid growth in some sectors such as aviation, maritime, education, energy and commerce.
Foriegn direct investment is also encouraged in specific sectors such as export manufacturing (areas such as
electronics, machinery and appliances, construction material, boat industry, motor spare parts). The global economic
outlook for Digital Economy related sectors such as Internet of Things (IoT) technologies anticipate rapid growth in
the light of the 4th industrial revolution. Therefore, employment opportunities remain vibrant in such sectors for
qualified and skilled personnel. In the Physical Sciences, only 30% out of the nearly 10,000 eligible candidates obtain
university entrance on an annual basis into the state university system. Expanding educational opportunities in
emerging fields of technology will remain critical to engage youth in economic development driven by the advanced
technologies.
BSc (External) degree in Electronics and Automation Technologies expects to fulfil the above expectations through
providing a highly engaging learning environment that inculcates an innovative mindset and technical competencies
through the study of essentials in Electronics and Information Technology. Unlike traditional external degree
programmes, the blended learning approach of the programme provides an ideal learning platform for working
individuals as well as guarantees the completion of the programme within the stipulated programme duration.
Activity-based classes held during weekends provide guidance and technical skills development under the close
supervision of our highly competent academic staff. This fast track degree programme is therefore ideal both for
those already working or seeking careers in the electronics industry. The degree is awarded upon completion of a
minimum of 90 course credits offered during a span of 3 years. The program is placed at Sri Lanka Quality Framework
(SLQF) - Level 5 as per the University Grants Commission guidelines.
The Program Learning Outcomes (PLOs)

At the end of the 3 years (SLQF Level 5) BSc in Electronics and Automation Technologies Degree holder should be
