BEng in Computer Systems Engineering

The electronics and communication fields represent two of the fastest growing technology areas both in Sri Lanka and internationally and job opportunities in these fields abound. With the rapid progress of the information society, the role of communications is becoming even more crucial to increased industry efficiency and competitiveness. With the significant demand from industry, SLIIT and the Curtin University, Australia have come to an agreement for SLIIT to offer the Curtin University Degree of Bachelor of Computer Systems Engineering at SLIIT.

Curtin University of Technology, Australia

Curtin University of Technology is one of the leading universities in the world, ranked as the number one technological University several times in Australia and is the largest and most comprehensive university in Western Australia with a student population of over 31,000. In just three decades, Curtin has achieved an international reputation for its excellent teaching programmes, innovative research and applied professional courses across a multitude of disciplines.

A combination of first-class resources, competent staff and advanced technology makes Curtin a forerunner in tertiary education, producing graduates with high employability both within Australia and internationally.

Career Opportunities

The career possibilities of a computer systems engineer span a vast range of industries, both locally and internationally. Likely industries include: telecommunications, computing, manufacturing, industrial control and automotive. Further professional services industries such as IT, retail, entertainment, health, transportation, banking, medical; travel and financial services are heavily dependent on computer systems engineers for their everyday operations

Duration and Course Structure

This is a four year degree programme. The first two years of the programme will lead to the Diploma in EE (SLIIT). Students completing the Diploma could complete one semester of bridging modules and complete the final one and half years of BEng in Computer Systems Engineering to obtain the BEng in Computer Systems Engineering degree from Curtin University, Australia either at SLIIT or at Curtin University, Australia.
