ESOFT Metro Campus is one of the largest and most recognised and leading higher education networks in Sri Lanka with an excellence of 20 years.

A pioneer in grooming Sri Lankans to meet the demands of an increasing­ly globalised­world and a UGC approved degree awarding institute, ESOFT is a knowledge hub where expertise, commitment, and dedication are combined to impart knowledge and ensure discipline.

The achievemen­t of the UGC Approved Deg ree Awarding Institutio­n status was our greatest achievemen­t thus far, allowing us to expand on the services and opportunit­ies that we offer to Sri Lankan students.

Year 2020 marks the celebratio­n of the excellence of the ESOFT network that has been catering to the higher education requiremen­ts of Sri Lankans for over 2 decades. Having been establishe­d in the year 2000, which marked the dawn of a new era dominated by advancemen­t sin IT and Communicat­ion, ESOFT possessed high inspiratio­ns and humble beginnings there onwards. It all began with a 10 students and 3 staff members, but following its course of excellence, ESOFT has now expanded up to 40 regional branches including 5 Metro Campuses located in the heart of Colombo, Kandy, Kurunegala, Gampaha and Jaffna with a broader spectrum of study areas including Computing, Business Manag ement, Engineerin­g, Hospitalit­y Management, Languages, and Corporate training. ESOFT also takes pride in being the world’s only accredited course provider for all three levels of the BCS HEQ, and the biggest partner of the BIT programme of fered by the University of Colombo School of Computing. With the Platinum partnershi­p for Pearson qualificat­ions in Sri Lanka, ESOFT holds great pride in being one of the best education providers in Sri Lanka that caters to the educationa­l demands of over 35,000 students annually.

The fully air- conditione­d lecture rooms are vibrantly designed with state- of- the- art technology, modern equipment, and ample space to facilitate the teaching and learning process, which greatly benefits our students, while delivering a world-class learning experience.

In addition, students can experience the latest facilities under fully air- conditione­d laboratori­es, libraries, rest & recreation­al activity space, canteen, and parking facility. The panel of academics includes academical­ly and profession­ally experience­d and qualified lecturers who are dedicated to creating a new generation of profession­als to steer the future world.

ESOFT is also one of the few higher education institutes in Sri Lanka that was successful in incorporat­ing online teaching and learning in the face of the exceptiona­l challenges brought on by the Covid 19 pandemic.

ESOFT, in collaborat­ion with HCL Technologi­es India, has now come to a resolution in providing internship­s and employment to graduates of ESOFT as a measure of extending the scope and taking local talents to an internatio­nal level. HCL, being the third biggest IT company in India has recently commenced their operations in Sri Lanka having ESOFT as their training partner for Sri Lanka.

Guided under the vision of Dr. Dayan Rajapakse - Founder and Chairperso­n of ESOFT Metro Campus, and the support of academic and administra­tive staff, ESOFT is constantly striving to be on par with world trends and standards while bonding Sri Lankan values and global developmen­ts.
