Who can apply
The listing asks for a relevant undergraduate degree in computing, IT, business or a related discipline, at a minimum of second class honours or equivalent. Some professional experience in an IT or management role is described as an advantage, and English language proficiency may be required. No specific English test or score is named.
The listing names both computing and business backgrounds, so the program draws on each. If your first degree is in another field, ask ESOFT Uni whether it will assess your case.
Fees, duration and study mode
The Uplift listing shows total tuition of LKR 790,000 and an application fee of LKR 25,000. It also lists a dollar tuition of USD 3,900 and a dollar application fee of USD 200, so ask ESOFT Uni which amount applies to you. The study mode is hybrid, the awarding university is Kingston University, and the campuses named in the description are Colombo and Kandy. The listing does not state a standard duration, so confirm it with ESOFT Uni and check the program page for current intake dates.
How it differs from other IT master's programs
Master's programs in IT on Uplift differ by purpose. A conversion master's helps graduates from other fields enter IT. A specialist master's, such as cyber security or data science, goes deep on one technical area. This program is closer to management: it asks how technology creates value for an organisation. Our guide to MSc in IT routes in Sri Lanka sets out those differences, and the guide to the Kingston University degrees at ESOFT Uni shows what else the same partner offers.
