The fourth consecutive undergraduate research symposium of the faculty will be held this year under the auspices of Senior Professor Lasantha Manawadu, Dean, Faculty of Arts. The symposium is scheduled to be held during October-November 2022. This annual symposium gives undergraduates in the final year of the Honours and Study Stream Degree Programmes a space to present their research and publish it in the symposium proceedings. The key objective of the undergraduate symposium is to enable undergraduates to perform in the research audience by appropriately learning research techniques, engaging in the conference presentation, and discussing the research findings. The faculty undergraduate research symposium encourages the research culture among undergraduates and gives them a scholarly platform for research performance.
Final-year undergraduates are encouraged to submit their abstracts written in English, Sinhala, or Tamil languages.
