FCIT intends to create graduates who are experts in their respective fields but also honest, responsible, enthusiastic, assertive, emotionally mature, confident and values professionalism.
With the vision of rebuilding an international centre for Buddhist studies similar to Nalanda University in India, Venerable Dr. Bodagama Chandima Nayaka Thera established Nagananda International Institute for Buddhist Studies (NIIBS) in the year 2014. To achieve his vision, Ven. Dr. Bodagama Chandima Nayaka Thera realized the modern technology has to be incorporated within NIIBS. Therefor the Faculty of Computing and Information Technology (FCIT) was established at NIIBS which not only provides state of art modern Information Communication Technology (ICT) services to the university, but also conducts academic programmes in the field of (ICT).
FCIT is equipped with state of art IT equipment, computer laboratories and a highly qualified, experienced team of experts. It is a registered training centre of the Tertiary and Vocational Education Commission (TVEC) of Sri Lanka which offers National Vocational Qualification courses in ICT at certificate, advance certificate and diploma levels. FCIT has partnered with likeminded academic institutions and industrial organizations both locally and internationally to provide high quality learning experience and industrial exposure to our students.
We intend to create graduates who are experts in their respective fields but also honest, responsible, enthusiastic, assertive, emotionally mature, confident and values professionalism. All our courses are designed and developed in accordance with Sri Lanka Qualification Framework as well as industry standards such as IEEE.
FCIT conducts research programmes in the areas of ICT, social media, informatics, robotics, drone technology and artificial intelligence. Over 200 students have registered and are following courses at FCIT at present. With the guidance and blessing of the Ven Vice Chancellor and Director of NIIBS, the FCIT has managed to establish its self as a pioneer technology education and service provider in the region with state of art facilities and ultra-modern technology.
Students at FCIT are exposed to a pleasant and peaceful study environment and students are provided guidance, support and groomed to be ICT professionals. The FCIT provides students an international university environment with a Buddhist flavour and we hope our students will be able to use FCIT as the gateway to an internationally recognized career.
