Bachelor of Software Engineering Honours

The OUSL has formed a close collaboration with the Sri Lanka Association for Software Service Companies (SLASSCOM), the largest association for companies exporting software. Experts from SLASSCOM member companies have provided input to the design of the curricula to ensure that the graduates of the program have the right attributes and qualities expected by the software industry. SLASSCOM member companies will also provide internship opportunities and scholarships for those with the right attitude and aptitude. We would also like to suggest that you take up the challenges listed at the FutureCareersBridge site maintained by SLASSCOM, so you can get a head start on developing  IT skills that will help you to secure internships as well as help in successfully completing the BSE degree program.

The OUSL will use a technology-supported distance delivery model to deliver the programme.  A  Learner Management System (LMS), will be used to manage the learner activities and provide access to materials. Tutorial support will be provided through discussion forums and other facilities available in the LMS. A panel of dedicated tutorial support staff will be coordinating small groups of students and provide individual assistance when required. 

The Study Programme will be delivered online mostly except for Final Examinations. Whenever possible on-site activities are arranged at selected Regional Centers.
