University of Colombo for the Year 2010 UNIVERSITY OF COLOMBO SRI LANKA ANNUAL REPORT 2010 Our Vision “Strive to be a centre of excellence of regional and international repute, building synergies between knowledge, education, research and entrepreneurship.” 2 Our Mission “To be a centre of excellence in teaching and research, with commitment to producing human talents of high standards and social responsibility who are innovative with independent thinking and analytical skills contributing to national development.” 3 3. Vice-Chancellor’s Review: Vice-Chancellor’s Report It is with great pleasure and a sense of pride that I present the Annual Report for the year 2010. This is my third report since I assumed office as the Vice-Chancellor of the premier and the most prestigious metropolitan higher educational institution, the University of Colombo, Sri Lanka. There has been an undergraduate population of about 10,000 students and another 25,000 in the postgraduate and extension courses. I am delighted to report that the University of Colombo was ranked as the No. 1 University in Sri Lanka and the 13th in South Asia in a web-ranking conducted in the year 2010 among the Universities and Colleges world over. This was possible as a result of sound management decisions taken by the governing authority, the Council, the academic directions given by the highest academic authority, the Senate, the commitment and sheer hard work of the Academic, Academic Support, Administrative and other staff and the performance of the students both at undergraduate and postgraduate levels. The University has to strive hard to improve its ranking further in South Asia and globally. In furtherance of achieving our objectives and targets, monitoring the implementation of policies and strategies, setting up a framework of regular performance appraisals and quality assurance exercises are important aspects. A very conducive environment prevails in the University for teaching, learning, research and other related activities. About fourteen Memorandums of Understanding were signed with international universities and agencies for furthering academic ties and related collaborative programmes. A reasonable number of foreign students were affiliated to our University and our students had attachments in various foreign universities under credit transfer system. One hundred and thirty six (136) academic, academic support, technical staff and students received Presidential Research Awards. In addition to academic activities, the students were heavily involved in co-curricular activities such as sports, debates, aesthetic and cultural events and community based extension programmes. The University of Colombo emerged as the over-all Champions for the third consecutive year in the Inter-University Sports Championship. Our students also participated in sports, debates etc. in foreign universities as well. Lack of adequate land for expansion and insufficient financial provisions for much needed new buildings hampered the speedy development of the University. I take this opportunity to thank the Council, Senate, Acting Registrar, Bursar, academic, Administrative and all other staff of the University. Special thanks are due to the undergraduate students for their cooperation with the management of the University. Professor Kshanika Hirimburegama Vice-Chancellor April, 2010 4 Highlights of 2010 1.
