The Department of Languages, nestled in the vibrant heart of our university campus, is the place where the art of communication thrives. Our department finds its dedicated space on the upper floor of the 'Sentra Food Court,' an exclusive domain reserved for the eloquence of languages.

At present, our department is a hub of linguistic empowerment, offering skill-enhancement programs in a diverse array of languages. From the widely spoken English to the rich heritage of Sinhala, Tamil, and the intrigue of Chinese and Japanese, we delve into the intricate tapestry of linguistic mastery. Moreover, we conduct meticulous testing to gauge competency levels in each of these languages, ensuring that our learners shine with fluency and finesse.

Our curriculum resonates with an eclectic assortment of modules meticulously crafted to elevate English language proficiency. Beyond the fundamentals, our students can pursue a series of electives that not only lead to a minor specialization in English Literature or Professional English pathways but also open doors to tailor-made skills development programs across English, Sinhala, Tamil, Chinese, and Japanese.

While nurturing linguistic prowess remains our core mission, our vision extends further. We aspire to embrace the global linguistic symphony, intending to offer courses in the world's eight most spoken languages, in addition to Sri Lanka's official languages. A new dimension to our mandate involves seamlessly weaving humanities education into the fabric of professional engineering degree pathways, fostering holistic brilliance in our students.

In our pursuit of excellence, we have forged a dynamic partnership with the esteemed Shandong University of Science and Technology (SDUST). This collaboration infuses our Chinese language program with the richness of native academic teachings, offering our learners an immersive experience. Moreover, our faculty is adorned with the presence of distinguished visiting academics from various universities across Sri Lanka, enhancing the breadth of our expertise.

As you step into our department, you step into a realm where words transcend barriers and cultures interlace. Join us in this journey of linguistic exploration, where we empower minds and voices to resonate across the world stage.
