The Kandy Centre of SLIIT was established in January 2002 in collaboration with Ewis Career Training (Pvt) Ltd to admit 150 students for the first year of the degree programme. This was established for the convenience of students in and around Kandy to embark on higher education in Information Technology and Business Management while being in Kandy in the first two years. This Centre also has all infrastructure facilities such as laboratories, library and lecture rooms for the first year students to follow the identical programme as at other Campuses. Students can earn the Higher National Diploma in Information Technology and Business Management of the SLIIT at the Kandy Centre. On completion of such studies, students can transfer to the Malabe Campus to continue their studies towards the BSc degree, BBA degree and the BSc Honours degree.
