The Department of Commerce and Financial Management of the University of Kelaniya has been at the helm of business education in Sri Lanka for almost three decades. The origin of the department dates back to the late 1970s. Since then it has continued to be the mainstay of business education at University of Kelaniya. Its current portfolio of degree programs includes the Bachelor of Commerce (Special) degree and the Bachelor of Commerce (Special) degree with specializations on Business Technology, Financial Management, and Entrepreneurship, the Master of Commerce (M.Com) degree program and the Diploma’ Higher Diploma in Business programs. The Master of Commerce degree program offered by the DCFM is one of the earliest postgraduate degree programs in Sri Lanka to emphasize the importance of research degrees. In recent times, the department has also introduced a Diploma in Business program to cater to students who are unable to enter universities. In addition to this, the increasing number of staff with international PhD qualifications in the department also strengthens the capacity of the department to deliver a quality postgraduate degree program.
As a responsible department of the faculty, the prime objective of the DCFM is to provide both undergraduate and postgraduate students with all the necessary knowledge, skills and training in order to create proud and quality graduates. The DCFM does continuously improve and revise its curricular to prepare its graduates to meet ever-changing environmental conditions. Thus, the domain of the DCFM is unique and independent in every aspect from the other degree programs offered by the parent faculty and elsewhere in Sri Lanka.
