Faculty of Technology is the seventh faculty of the Sabaragamuwa University of Sri Lanka. It has been established in the main university premises at Pambahinna. The faculty comprises of two academic departments, namely, the Department of Biosystems Technology, and the Department of Engineering Technology. The Faculty of Technology offers two degree programs: Bachelor of Biosystems Technology Honours degree through the Department of Biosystems Technology, and Bachelor of Engineering Technology Honours degree through the Department of Engineering Technology. From 2018, the faculty intends to accommodate 75 students annually, for each degree program. The first two years of the degree programs will be conducted at a temporary building facility which is fully equipped with lecture halls, laboratories, and administration offices. The construction of the state-of-the art, fully-fledged faculty complex will be commenced shortly under a loan worth of USD 31 million from the Asian Development Bank.
