Department of English of the Buddhist and Pali University of Sri Lanka was established in 2009 in line with the main objectives of the University to disseminate Dhamma worldwide, extending the opportunities for the internal students to learn English. The Department of English caters to both local and foreign students who are selected through an admission test to offer English as a degree subject. The syllabus of the Department of English largely consists of units related to literature while much emphasis is given to the improvement of the language skills of the students. The Department conducts both internal and external general degree programs in English.
