The Faculty of Management Studies and Commerce of the University of Sri Jayewardenepura has commenced a degree program in B.Sc Business Economics from year 2002, the first of this kind in Sri Lanka's University System. The program will blend the theory and practice of management and applied economics to fill the needs of private and public sector institutions.

The major objective of this degree program is to equip students with the theory and application of business economics in order to prepare them to assume careers that demand training in economics and management. The other objectives of the program include the provision of modern academic knowledge, skills and attitudes of business economics, as well as an exposure to the current practices in business economics.

The Department of Business Economics will maintain close relationships with the professional institutions and professionals in private and public sector organisations in the areas of economics, finance, banking, insurance and related fields in order to obtain a feedback from the practitioners of the field and to create opportunities for training and employment for business economics graduates.

Since the country is facing an acute problem of providing employment to graduates, it is essential to identify the skills and attitudes of future graduates in business economics to be employed in the private and public sector.

In view of this, the department will hold a symposium in order to obtain ideas and comments for future direction of the program from policy makers, academics and business leaders, tomorrow 8.30 am at the Faculty of Management Studies and Commerce Building. Minister of Enterprise Development, Industrial Policy and Investment Promotion and Minister of Constitutional Affairs Prof. G.L. Peiris will be the chief guest.
