This is the only Undergraduate Degree Course presently conducted by the Department. The admission to this course is similar to that of other Undergraduate programmes in state universities in Sri Lanka. The general admission policy is that the candidates must possess a minimum Z-score, specified by the University Grants Commission, based on their performance in the GCE (Advanced Level) examination conducted by the Ministry of Education, Sri Lanka. For this degree program, students are taken from the Mathematics, Bioscience, and Information Technology streams of the GCE (Advanced Level). Since the course is conducted exclusively in the English medium, a minimum of a B Grade in English at GCE (O/L) is required.
The course aims at producing mid-level career personnel specialized in Spatial Planning. Owing to the multidisciplinary nature of the profession, students in this course are required to complete a range of theoretical subject modules from a wide array of disciplines, skill development exercises, field studies, and planning projects over a period of four years. The course is fully subsidized by the University Grants Commission for local students. The Institute of Town Planners, Sri Lanka, has accredited the course for its membership.
