University of Colombo

The University of Colombo, Sri Lanka's oldest institution, is a huge structure spanning over fifty acres of valuable property in the city's centre. With its historical architecture, "College House" (the university's administrative centre) is today a well-known icon in the city.

The University of Colombo aspires for academic excellence in all areas of study, in keeping with its motto "Buddhih Sarvatra Bhrajate," which means "Wisdom bursts out everywhere." The University's Medical and Science Faculties are not only the oldest in Sri Lanka's university system, but they are also perhaps the best in terms of faculty and resources.

A wide range of extracurricular activities are available on campus to enrich student life. The magnificent playground and contemporary gymnasium provide athletes with the opportunity to fully utilize and develop their abilities. Meanwhile, the New Arts Theater is frequently used to showcase the student population's dramatic and musical abilities.

The University's location provides students with all of the benefits of a "metropolitan university," including quick access to international information/resource centers, libraries, theaters, sports facilities, and other amenities.

Today, the University of Colombo, which has a proud 115-year history, continues to strive to preserve its status as a "metropolitan university with a modern and international viewpoint and spirit."
