Architecture courses in Sri Lanka

September 16, 2011 By Achintha Bandara 8 Comments

    In Sri Lanka there are only few ways to become a Chartered Architect. As many professions, architecture has its professional standards. University of Moratuwa and City School of Architecture are the only two possible ways to be an architect in Sri Lanka. After receiving the degree from any of above institutions, it is essential to acquire the Charter by the Sri Lanka Institute of Architecture to practice individually and perform institutionally.



    University of Moratuwa provides the opportunity for over hundred students every year to follow the architecture courses; specializing architecture/ built environment or design. Students fulfill required academic qualifications in G.C.E.A/L exam, will be directed to a placement test and then selected for the course. Each student has to follow seven years of academic study consisted both Bachelors (B.Sc) and Master’s degrees (M.Sc). Then they have to consult the Sri Lanka Chartered Institute of Architecture (SLIA), for their charter where they have to spend nearly 30,000 LKR for completion. However they would be able to work under the supervision of any charted architect from their 3rd academic year in university and till they receive the charter or even after that. Most of the Sri Lankan architects who receive this particular efficacy are tend to work independently as they can perform their own creativity and the innovativeness.

    Yet there are limited spaces provided from the government body for the architectural studies, some more positions are also available at City School of Architecture (CSA).

Similar assessment methods and training possibilities are also available as found in the university. After seven years of academic education at CSA the students may eligible to follow the chartered examination for architects which might allow them to practice on their own.

    Both institutions have theoretical and practical aspects where students could either select their carrier as a professional architect or as an academic who explore the theories behind the bricks.
