M.Sc. / PG Diploma in Nanotechnology
Shape the Future with Nanotechnology at Sri Lanka's Premier Engineering University
馃摙 Notice: Revised Eligibility Criteria
Following requests from several departments and holders of four-year Technology degrees, the eligibility criteria for the MSc in Nanotechnology programme have been revised.
Key Update: Applicants holding four-year Technology degrees are now eligible without any post-graduate industrial experience (i.e., industrial experience obtained after the bachelor's degree).
This revision places four-year Engineering, Science, and Technology degrees on equal footing for admission to the programme.
鈿狅笍 Important: Applications are open only for a short period under this revised criterion. Eligible candidates are strongly encouraged to apply without delay.
