2.6 Sri Lanka Qualification Framework (SLQF) The SLQF is a nationally consistent framework for all higher education qualifications

offered in Sri Lanka. The SLQF applies to all higher education institutions both public

and private, which provide post-secondary education. It recognizes the volume of

learning of students and identifies the learning outcomes that are to be achieved by the

qualification holders.

The SLQF comprises twelve levels and the descriptors of each of these levels are

comprehensively defined. Since the volume of learning is considered in the SLQF, the

number of credits that should be earned by students for each qualification is also given.

The minimum number of credits required to obtain a Bachelor of Arts or a Bachelor of

Arts Honours degree according the SLQF has been mentioned in the following table.

4.2 Hostel Facilities and Policy Though the University of Ruhuna was established as a non-residential university, the

need for residential facilities for students was later identified. As a result, a number of

student hostels have been established. The university maintains three hostels within the

university premises for girls. There are outside hostels for boys and girls.

At the present nearly 50 per cent of the students are provided with hostel facilities. The

university provides hostels for all boys eligible for hostel facilities and for a limited

number of girls. The first year and final year students are given the priority. A few

university-owned houses and rented houses are also being used as student hostels.

Hostel facilities are given according to the student ratio in the Faculty of Science and

the Faculty of Humanities and Social Sciences. An annual fee of Rs.600 is charged

from a student. Providing hostel facilities for students is under the purview of the

Student Affairs Branch of the university.

1. Mahapola higher education 2. cholarships o Bursary grants 3. Other scholarships

CHAPTER 5

Department of Economics Economics deals with issues arising from the conflict between human demand for

goods and services and the limited supply of resources to satisfy these demands. In

brief, economic inquiry may be regarded as the study of choice. Economic policies often

need to be made in accordance with traditional problem areas such as inflation,

unemployment, the balance of payments, economic growth, exchange rate, stability,

agricultural marketing, labour relations, and free trade. Economics makes contributions

to more contemporary areas including poverty alleviation, regional disparity, natural

resources and environment, foreign ownership, privatisation, and aging of population.

CHAPTER 7

Department of Geography

At the beginning of university education in Sri Lanka in the 1920s, Geography was

introduced as a subject to the university curriculum. Since then, Geography has

continuously been a popular subject in university education. The Department of

Geography at the University of Ruhuna was established on 1 January 1979. The degree

programme in Geography envisages two objectives: 1) to provide a geographical

knowledge on physical and social environment that leads to formulation and

implementation of development activities; and 2) to develop and improve students‟ skills

that enhance the value of their work.

CHAPTER 8

Department of History and Archaeology The Department of History was established at the inception of the university. History is

one of the most important and key disciplines of the faculty. Many graduates produced

by the department have made significant contributions to the development efforts of the

country as well as to historical and archaeological research in the southern region of Sri

Lanka. At the national level, the department is anticipated to take up the challenge of

filling the gaps in historical and archaeological research, investigations and exploration.

The Department of Archaeology and many other institutions seek the expertise of the

department to involve in various types of research on Sri Lanka‟s history.

of contemporary society and its dynamics.

Since then, the unit has implemented various programmes to make the undergraduates

aware of the available employment opportunities, and to improve their professional

qualities to respond the job market needs. The unit wishes to build up continuous links

with the private sector as well as the government institutions to facilitate productive

interactions between undergraduates and such institutions.

These include examining medical reports and certificates of students and staff, and issuing medical certificates.

A public health officer (PHI) takes care of the preventive health aspects of the university

such as food hygiene, waste disposal, sanitation, and epidemiological work. During the

academic year, the medical centre is open on weekdays from 8.00 a.m. to 4.00 p.m. to

treat students and staff. From 9.00 a.m. to 4.00 p.m. opportunities are provided to

consult a doctor. All drugs are free of charge for students. If a prescribed drug is not

available in the clinic, the university will reimburse the expenses incurred in purchasing

it from outside.

There is also a dental clinic attached to the medical centre.

18.3.2 Medical tests for new comers A medical test is compulsory for all new comers. Students are supposed to get the

medical test done by a government medical officer (DMO) using the prescribed form

sent by the university and should submit it to the university medical officer.

The aim of this test is to determine whether the student has suitable health conditions to

continue the academic programme without any difficulty. If a student is found to be

suffering from a severe disease, he/ she will be directed to special clinics for treatments.

18.3.3 Medical certificates If a student is unable to attend lectures and/ or practical classes due to an illness, he/

she should inform the Dean of the Faculty. If a student wishes, he/ she can obtain

medical assistance from a government or a private doctor. However, the medical

certificates issued by them should be approved by the university medical officer.

If a student was unable to complete a part of an examination or the full examination due

to a specific illness, it should be informed to the Medical Officer, and the Senior

Assistant Registrar of the Faculty of Humanities and Social Sciences. The Medical

Centre issues certificates only for the students who have taken treatments from there.

The certificate needs to be claimed within three days after treatment.

If a student had outside treatment, a medical certificate issued from a government

hospital should be provided with the approval of university Medical Officer to the Senior

Assistant Registrar of the Faculty of Humanities and Social Sciences no later than

seven days from the day that he/ she had failed to sit the examination. In an event of

taking outside treatment for a communicable disease, a medical certificate issued by a

medical officer of health (MOH) who has been directed by a PHI or a DMO of the

respective area can be submitted. If the illness lasts more than 14 days, another

medical certificate is required.
