The Sri Lanka Institute of Information Technology (SLIIT) will begin its next stage of the Masters degree programme early this month to produce exceptionally skilled IT specialists who will make a contribution toward the development of the relevant sector in Sri Lanka.

The welcome ceremony of the eighth students intake for the Masters degree programme was held last Friday.

The Masters degree programme consists of four semesters. Students can follow a two year course in the subject stream of information Technology, information management, information system and enterprise application development.

Students who have successfully completed the first two semesters will be eligible to receive the Post Graduate Diploma.

At present over 6000 students are following the degree courses such as IT, business management and engineering.

SLIIT is planning to expand its services for the students from SAARC countries. Some students from the SAARC countries would receive scholarships from the SLIIT to continue their degree programmes.

The intention of the SLIIT is to cater to the international market.
