TL;DR: An electrical engineering degree in Sri Lanka can be studied as the BEng (Hons) in Electrical and Electronic Engineering at Esoft Uni, awarded by Kingston University in the UK. It runs for 3 years full-time, with total tuition of LKR 1,420,000 plus a LKR 25,000 application fee. You need 3 A/L passes, ideally in Mathematics and Physics. HND holders can join the final year.
Power cuts, solar rooftops, factory robots and the phone in your pocket all need the same skill set: people who understand circuits, control and power. If that pulls at you, an electrical engineering degree is the obvious next step.
This guide covers one route you can apply for today through Uplift: the Kingston University BEng taught at Esoft Uni in Sri Lanka. It sets out what you study, what it costs, who can get in and what to check before you sign up.

What you study
The course record lists a practical spread of subjects. Expect engineering mathematics and electrical and electronic principles early on, then control systems, power systems, embedded systems, signal processing and instrumentation.
Later modules move into industrial automation, HVAC and renewable energy systems, ending with individual and group projects. For a country putting solar panels on rooftops and automating its factories, that mix is well matched to local jobs.
Who can get in
There are two doors in.
From A/Ls
You need 3 A/L passes. Mathematics, Physics or Combined Mathematics are preferred, which makes the Physical Science stream the natural fit. If your subjects do not match, an equivalent foundation qualification is accepted. English proficiency is also required.
From an HND
If you already hold an HND or another Level 5 qualification in electrical, electronic or a related engineering field, you can enter Year 3. That final year covers systems design, control, renewable energy and an individual project.
The course record also notes a safety net: a student can exit after Year 2 with an HND.
What it costs
The Uplift catalogue lists total tuition of LKR 1,420,000 for the three years, plus a LKR 25,000 application fee. Ask Esoft Uni how the tuition is split into payments, and whether the fee changes for final-year entry. No intake date is currently listed, so confirm the next start date on the course page.
Jobs it can lead to in Sri Lanka
The course record lists roles as electrical engineers, electronics engineers, control systems engineers, power systems engineers and embedded systems engineers. These sit across energy, manufacturing and technology, all sectors that hire inside Sri Lanka.
