MESSAGE FROM THE DEAN

The Faculty of Fisheries and Marine Sciences & Technology, founded in 2005 is unique in the state University system of Sri Lanka. The faculty has spearheaded fisheries and marine sciences education and research in the tertiary education system of the country. The faculty consists of three academic Departments and, annually admits 210 students for the two Honours degree programs; BScHons in Fisheries and Marine Sciences, and BScHons in Marine and Freshwater Sciences. The faculty is highly conscious of the excellence of the academic programs and, uses creative and innovative teaching approaches to make subject delivery alive to the students. Course units of the degree programs have been designed to allow the students to acquire skills in laboratory techniques, fieldwork, problem-solving, teamwork, leadership, and effective communication to meet the needs of the country. Contents of the Course units are updated constantly to provide the most up-to-date information to the undergraduates. The academic programs of the Faculty are aligned with the Sri Lanka Qualification Framework (SLQF). Further, the Faculty has taken every necessary step to maintain the standard and quality of the degree programs through the Internal Quality Assurance Cell (IQAC), Internal Quality Assurance Unit (IQAU) of the University, and Quality Assurance and Accreditation Council (QAAC) of the University Grant Commission (UGC) of Sri Lanka. The students are nourished by friendly and well-qualified academic staff who engages in high-quality research and innovations while being deeply dedicated to undergraduate teaching. Academic and other related activities of the faculty are supported by the well-trained Demonstrators, academic-supportive, and non-academic staff members of the Faculty. The faculty also offers research degrees leading to Master of Philosophy (MPhil) and Doctor of Philosophy (PhD) in Fisheries and Marine Sciences disciplines. At present, the faculty consists of 31 well-qualified academic staff, 03 academic supportive staff, 26 non-academic staff, 15 postgraduate students, and over 350 undergraduate students. With the vision of establishing futuristic research culture, the faculty has already established several Memorandum of Understandings (MoU) with leading international Universities and institutes, most of which are expanding higher education opportunities for the grandaunts.

As the academic and administrative Head of the Faculty, I cordially invite you to further explore our Faculty either online or through a visit to the Wellamadama premises of the University.
