What you study
The program description covers the full business lifecycle, from forming an idea to assessing a strategy. The subjects named are financial management, economics, marketing, strategy and human resources. Learning is built around case studies, guest lectures, organisation visits and online business simulations, with work-based learning modules for practical experience.
The first two years follow an HND-style structure with these compulsory modules:
Business and Business Environment, Marketing Processes and Planning, Human Resource Management, and Leadership and Management in the first semester.
Accounting Principles, Managing a Successful Business Project, Business Law, and Professional Identity and Practice in the second.
Research Project, Organisational Behaviour, Business Strategy and Business Intelligence in the third.
Principles of Operations Management and Global Business Environment, among others, in the fourth.
Year 3 is the top-up year. Its compulsory modules include International Finance and Trade, Business Without Frontiers, Strategy Choices and Change, Organising and Managing Across Cultures, Services Marketing, and a Management Investigations and Dissertation.
Entry requirements
The listing gives two academic routes, and you need only one:
Direct entry to Year 1 with Sri Lanka A/L, three passes, or an equivalent foundation qualification, or a Pearson BTEC Level 3 qualification.
Direct entry to Year 3 (the top-up year) with an HND or an equivalent Level 5 qualification, where you may be eligible.
English proficiency is also required. The listing says applicants may be asked to show competency but does not name a test or a score. It also states only passes, not specific A/L grades, so ask ESOFT Uni how it assesses your results.
Preparing your application
Keep your A/L result slip or foundation certificate, your O/L results and a copy of your identity document ready. If you plan to join at Year 3 with an HND, also collect your transcript and the awarding body details, because ESOFT Uni will need them to assess your eligibility.

The Uplift listing shows total tuition of LKR 1,620,000 and a separate application fee of LKR 25,000.
