The Colombo launch follows ESOFT’s growing success in academic innovation across the island and reflects its evolution from a pioneering IT training centre to a multi-disciplinary degree. ESU Colombo has been established to serve students who seek excellence, convenience, and future-ready credentials without leaving the country’s commercial capital.
“ESU Colombo is more than just a campus, it is a hub for intellectual empowerment and a launchpad for global careers,” stated Dr. Dayan Rajapakse, Chairman and Group Managing Director of ESOFT Metro Campus and ESOFT Uni. He further added, “ESU is about redefining what’s possible for Sri Lankan youth, especially those who want the highest standards of education without having to leave their city or their country. ESU goes beyond classroom learning as our ultimate aim is to nurture a growing community of locally-educated professionals with a global vision for Sri Lanka.”
ESU Colombo offers a diverse portfolio of internationally accredited and recognised undergraduate and postgraduate programmes across six faculties which focus on Computing, Business & Law, Life Sciences, Art & Design, Engineering, Education, Languages, and Sociology. As ESOFT is globally affiliated with Kingston University London and London Metropolitan University, the students gain access to dual degrees, international transfer pathways, and exposure to global academic networks.
The new uni features state-of-the-art facilities including modern lecture halls, IT and biomedical laboratories, a moot court, a recreational area including pool tables, and dynamic common spaces—all designed to encourage creativity, research, and student well-being.
The launch of ESU Colombo follows the opening of ESU Kandy earlier this year, which became the largest city university in Kandy. With its strong academic portfolio and international affiliations, ESU Kandy marked a transformative milestone for higher education in the region—enabling students in the Central Province to pursue globally recognised qualifications without relocating to Colombo. The momentum generated by ESU Kandy laid the foundation for ESOFT’s continued expansion, culminating in the opening of its flagship campus in Colombo.
