Hello everyone, I’m Disara Abeywickrama from the Faculty of Humanities and Sciences. I began my degree program at SLIIT in 2019, right after my A/Ls, and I can confidently say this was the ideal place to begin my journey. The recognition I’ve received today isn’t 
just for academic performance—SLIIT provided me with numerous opportunities to grow beyond the classroom. I was a proud member of the SLIIT Debating Team, the Rotaract Club Editorial Team, the Leo Club, and the English Literary Association. These experiences shaped my personality and prepared me for the corporate world. The confidence I carry today is largely thanks to what SLIIT gave me. I’m proud to be a SLIIT graduate and I highly recommend it as the perfect place to start your future and achieve your goals.

Hi, I’m Shehara Mayadunne, and I’m honored to have received the Best Performance Award for the BSc (Hons) Psychology degree, awarded by LJMU in affiliation with SLIIT. The past three years have been an incredible journey filled with challenges and growth. Throughout it all, I received outstanding academic support and guidance from lecturers who were not only knowledgeable but also genuinely caring on both academic and personal levels. This program has equipped me with invaluable skills that have shaped me into a more confident and capable individual. I highly recommend this degree to anyone looking to take their first step into the field of psychology.
