Computing is a popular choice after A/Ls, and many students want a degree that covers software, networks and data without choosing a narrow specialism on day one. This guide explains the ESOFT Uni program from its course page, so you can judge the fit before you apply.

What is the BSc computing degree at ESOFT Uni?

The BSc (Hons) in Computing is offered by ESOFT Uni at its Colombo campus, with London Metropolitan University as the awarding university. The course page lists it as a three-year full-time program. It sits in the computing study area, under information technology.

The page describes the degree as built for students beginning their undergraduate journey, with theory and hands-on practice across software development, information systems, networks and distributed systems, and internet-based computing.

What will you study in the BSc computing degree?

The course structure on the page splits the program into two parts. Years one and two carry compulsory units such as:

  • Programming, networking, and database design and development

  • Security, software development lifecycles, and web design and development

  • Systems analysis and design, and user experience and interface design

  • Internet of Things, emerging technologies and prototyping

  • Professional practice and a computing research project

The final year is a top-up year with application development, data and web development, project analysis and practice, career development learning and a project. The page says the final year includes a substantial research or industry project.

Who can join the BSc computing degree?

The entry rule on the course page lists an A/L qualification or equivalent with a minimum of three passes for direct undergraduate entry, or an equivalent foundation qualification. Applicants with relevant work experience may be considered, and English language proficiency may be required. If you are not yet at that level, the IT foundation year guide explains the bridging route.

What does the program cost?

The course page lists total tuition of LKR 1,620,000 and an application fee of LKR 25,000. Its FAQ says monthly instalment plans are available and asks students to contact ESOFT for the latest fee information. Ask the institute for the payment schedule in writing, since plans can change. For tips on reading fee pages, see our guide to comparing degree fees in Sri Lanka.

Can you exit with an HND?

Yes, according to the course page. After two years, students can obtain an HND and gain industry experience before completing the honours degree, either locally in Sri Lanka or by transferring to a partner university in the UK or Australia. That is the structure of the program itself. Ask ESOFT which partner universities it can confirm and on what conditions. Our guide to HND courses in Sri Lanka explains the qualification you would hold at that point.

Which intake should you plan for?

The Uplift course page lists no intake that is still ahead. Ask ESOFT for the next start date and the application deadline before you plan your year.
