The University of kelaniya has its origin in the historic vidyalankara pirivena, founded in 1875 by Ratmanalane Sri dharmaloka Thera as a center of learning for Buddhist monks.

With the establishment of modern universities in Sri Lanka in the 1940s and 1950s, the vidyalankara pirivena became the vidyalankara university in1959, later the vidyalankara Campus of the University of Ceylon in 1972, and, ultimately, the university of kelaniya in 1978.

The university of kelaniya has pioneered a number of new developments in higher education. It was one of the first universities to begin teaching science in Sinhala and the first to restructure the traditional Arts faculty into three faculties: Humanities , Social sciences , and Commerce and Management.

It has several departments not generally found in the Sri Lankan University system and some kelaniya innovations have been adopted subsequently by other universities. These includes the departments of Industrial Management and Microbiology in the faculty of science; Departments of Linguistics, Fine Arts, Modern Languages, and Hindi in the Faculty of Humanities; and Mass Communication and Library and Information Sciences in the faculty of social sciences.

Faculty of Science



The faculty of Science started functioning in October 1967 with prof. Charles Dahanayake as the Deen of science. The intake of the first batch of students was 57. Formal approval for the faculty was given by the minister of Education in 1968.

The faculty was housed in the main building known as the "Science Block". Due to the continued increase in the student intake from year to year, a new lecture theatre complex and an auditorium were constructed in 1992, which enabled the intake of students to be increased to 450 in 2003. a new Laboratory complex for the chemistry Department and three buildings for the Departments for Industrial Management, Microbiology and Zoology have now been completed.

The faculty consists of eight departments.

  • Department of Botany
  • Department of Chemistry
  • Department of Industrial Management
  • Department of Mathematics
  • Department of Microbiology
  • Department of Physics
  • Department of Statics & computer science 
  • Department of Zoology & Environmental Management
