    A good University in Sri Lanka. Actually a leading state university in this country. This University is committed to provide high quality education and to conduct high impact research which will contribute significantly to the enhancement of existing knowledge in various fields of Humanities, Medicine, Science, Social Sciences, Commerce & Management and to the development of the country. Past students are well known and rendered a yeoman service to the country.
    This university has history too. The university of kelaniya has its origin in the historic vidyalankara pirivena, founded in 1875 by Rathmalane Sri Dharmaloka Thera. The establishment of modern universities in Sri lanka in the 1950s. Vidyalankara Pirivena became the Vidyalankara university in 1959, later the Vidyalankara campus of the university of Ceylon in 1972, and, ultimately, the university of Kelaniya in 1978.

    There is nothing like a dream to create the future.
    Nothing in life is to be feared. It is only to be understood.

    History

    The University of Kelaniya has its origin in the historic Vidyalankara Pirivena, founded in 1875 by Ratmalane Sri Dharmaloka Thera as a centre 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 in 1959, 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 include 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.
