TL;DR: The BEng (Hons) in Civil Engineering at ESOFT Uni is a 3-year, full-time degree awarded by Kingston University (UK) and delivered in Sri Lanka. Tuition is LKR 1,420,000 in total, plus a LKR 25,000 application fee. Entry is three A/L passes, preferably in Mathematics, Physics or another science subject, and an HND route can start you in Year 3.
Civil engineers plan and build roads, water systems, bridges and buildings. If you are weighing a civil engineering degree in Sri Lanka, this guide explains how the Uplift listing for this degree works, what it costs and who it suits.
Apply nowWhat the degree covers
The BEng (Hons) in Civil Engineering at ESOFT Uni builds a base in structural analysis, geotechnics, hydraulics, materials and surveying. It then adds highway and transportation engineering, environmental impact assessment and construction management. Digital tools, including Building Information Modelling (BIM), run through the program.

Year by year
Early modules include Science and Materials, Mathematics for Construction, Principles of Structural Design and Geotechnics and Soil Mechanics.
Later modules include Hydraulics, Surveying, BIM, Advanced Structural Design, Highway Engineering and Sustainable Methods of Construction.
The final year includes Advanced Structural Modelling and Design, a research project and an integrated design project.
The listing also describes an HND exit point after Year 2. You can leave with an HND and return later to finish the degree.
Skills you will gain
The listing names these skills for graduates of the program:
Structural analysis and design.
Geotechnical engineering.
Hydraulics and fluid mechanics.
Project management.
Building Information Modelling.
Surveying and measurement.
Sustainability assessment.
Professional ethics and safety.
The program also develops planning and safety skills, so graduates are prepared for site and design work rather than only theory.
Who this degree suits
It suits students who enjoy Mathematics and Physics, like seeing how structures and water systems work, and want a degree with a built-in HND checkpoint. It also suits HND holders in civil or construction engineering who want to finish in 1 year of study by joining at Year 3, subject to ESOFT's entry decision.
Entry requirements
Sri Lanka A/L with three passes, preferably in Mathematics, Physics or a relevant science subject. An equivalent foundation qualification also works.
An HND or Level 5 qualification in a civil or construction engineering discipline may qualify you for direct entry into Year 3.
English language proficiency is required.
If you do not have the A/L subjects, ESOFT also lists a Foundation Year in Engineering with Kingston University.
Fees and payment
Tuition for the degree is LKR 1,420,000 in total. There is a separate application fee of LKR 25,000. ESOFT asks applicants to confirm the current fee with the institute, so check the course page before you pay.
No intake date is recorded on Uplift for this degree at the moment. Open the course page and ask for the next start date before you plan your year.
Who awards the degree
The degree is awarded by Kingston University (UK). Teaching takes place at ESOFT campuses in Sri Lanka. The listing says the HND exit point opens the option to complete study in Sri Lanka or at a UK partner university. That is part of how the program is structured, and you can ask ESOFT how it works in practice.
