Welcome to the Faculty of Agricultural Sciences, Sabaragamuwa University of Sri Lanka, on behalf of all staff and students.
 The Faculty of Agricultural Sciences consists of three academic departments: Agribusiness management, Export agriculture, and livestock production, to take care of different disciplines related to agriculture. The faculty offers two degree programs, B.Sc. Agricultural Sciences & Management and B.Sc. Food Business Management. The teaching staffs of the faculty are highly qualified and are experts in their respective fields, providing students with the best educational opportunities to realize their goals and engaged in a multitude of research projects.

The features of B.Sc. Agricultural Sciences and Management degree program are that during the first two years of their undergraduate studies, students are taught fundamental concepts in agricultural sciences. In the third year, students choose one module to study from six modules to learn specialized knowledge and skills. Throughout their first three years, B.Sc. Food Business Management students receive guidance in all aspects of the program of study. In the third year, all students of both degree programs select a laboratory and begin their research activities, but motivated students can start their research activities in a laboratory from the first year. Students focus on their research project, industrial training, and graduate thesis during their fourth year, at which point they make the decision to pursue graduate studies or look for work prospects locally or overseas. Another distinctive feature of our faculty is the emphasis on enhancing practical learning opportunities. Most students in the faculty are able to experience on-farm training at the faculty farm during their second year, and they participate in various experiments, practical training, and fieldwork in their departments and individual laboratories.

Agricultural Sciences is a multidisciplinary applied science with a mission to confront critical problems related to food, life, and environment over the past, present, and future. The entire faculty continues to work hard to create skilled persons and promote the field of agricultural sciences in order to attain the goal of creating an economically prosperous country.
