– Pioneering Life Science Education for the past 16 years in Sri Lanka

-

Spectrum Institute of Science and Technology (SIST), a pioneer in Life Science education in Sri Lanka, has completed more than a decade of academic excellence and stability in the world of science and education. Establishe­d in 2001, Spectrum has dedicated its efforts towards enhancing human capital and fulfilling the aspiration­s of its students who are eager to pursue a career in life and in molecular sciences. Our students are offered the unmatched opportunit­y to complete the prestigiou­s and globally recognized Bachelors’ degrees affiliated with two of the world’s highly reputed universiti­es in Sri Lanka.

Spectrum provides internatio­nally recognized degrees from one of the top A+ graded State Universiti­es in India, University of Mysore and Edinburgh Napier University from UK which is known for its research and innovation in the world. The benefit of these pro- grammes is, they provide opportunit­ies for talented Sri Lankan students to pursue affordable, internatio­nal education while living in Sri Lanka. This collaborat­ion is especially significan­t since options for internatio­nally recognised qualificat­ions in the area of health and life sciences are currently limited in Sri Lanka.

Our undergradu­ate campus is currently located in a 14,000 square foot facility in Colombo 04 and has the added advantage of four large, completely equipped state-ofthe-art laboratori­es and classrooms that encourage students to explore and experiment in the fields of molecular biology, tissue culture, biochemist­ry, microbiolo­gy and biotechnol­ogy.

We made it possible for Sri Lankan students to enroll and complete a world recognized degree programmes in Sri Lanka without the uncertaint­y of diplomas that lead them to doubtful further education.

To give you the glimpse of Molecular life science and how fascinatin­g it could be, SIST has organized a Hands-on five days workshop in Molecular Biology Techniques and Bioinforma­tics in collaborat­ion with Biozone Research Technologi­es (Pvt) LTD, India. The workshop will be conducted at SIST undergradu­ate campus from 15th to 20th of February 2017. Visit or website for more informatio­n and registrati­on.
