Thus, Sri
Lanka’s situation in the nautical corridor between the East and West and its natural resources in
the surrounding sea has become important for the future development of the country. We as a
nation need to reposition our country to maximize these advantages. To fully tap this potential,
Sri Lanka needs to develop its human resources and the Ocean University of Sri Lanka has to
equip itself to cater this important task. At present, the University offers marine, maritime and
fisheries related BSc degree programs in the fields of Engineering, Logistics and Transport and
Sciences. Further, it offers skill sector NVQ level diplomas and certificates courses in the same
areas from its network of regional centers.
