PROSPECTUS

FACULTY OF APPLIED SCIENCES


RAJARATA UNIVERSITY OF SRI LANKA
1. INTRODUCTION
1.1 BACKGROUND
The Rajarata University of Sri Lanka (RUSL) was established in November 1995 by the Gazette Notification No: 896/2 of 7 th
November 1995 in the Administrative District of Anuradhapura. The Central Province Affiliated University College (CPAUC) in
Polgolla, located at a distance of 140 km from the main campus at Mihintale was amalgamated to the RUSL as its Faculty of Applied
Sciences (FASc). The immediate task of the FASc at that time was to upgrade all the students of the CPAUC who had successfully
completed their Diploma requirements, to the Graduate level. On this task the FASc was inaugurated on 10 th January, 1997 to
commence the third year Degree Programme with a batch of 102 students, who subsequently graduated in 1998. The first batch of
students who were directly sent by the UGC to follow the degree programme was enrolled in November 1997.
After functioning for nearly 10 years at Polgolla, the Faculty was finally established in the premises of the main campus at
Mihintale, on 16th January 2006 upon completion of Stage I of the building complex.
1.2. PRESENT STATUS
At present, three B.Sc. (General) Degree programmes, two B.Sc. (Special) Degree programmes, two B.Sc. (Joint Major) Degree
programmes and three B.Sc. (4 year) Degree programmes are offered by the FASc.
The FASc, Mihintale consists of two departments viz: Biological Sciences and Physical Sciences. The Department of Biological
Sciences offers course units in the fields of study/subjects/disciplines of Botany, Zoology, Biology and Health Promotion while the
Department of Physical Sciences offers Chemistry, Physics, Pure Mathematics, Applied Mathematics, Computer Science and
Information & Communication Technology. All courses are offered in English medium. As such, the Faculty conducts an intensive
course and an ongoing course in English Language, for students to be competent to follow lectures and comprehend the courses
taught by the two Departments. From its inception, the Faculty follows the course unit system.
It is the intention of the Faculty to ensure that a student entering the Faculty could in the third and fourth years select a particular
field or fields of Applied Sciences of his/her choice. The first and the second year courses are designed in such a way that a student
may select a specific area/s in Applied Sciences in the third year/third and fourth years. The Basic Plan of Action of the B.Sc. Degree
Programmes in Applied Sciences is given below.

Pre-requisites and Co-requisites


Some course units require certain course units that must be completed before students are allowed to follow them.
Such course unitsarecalled Pre-Requisites (PR).
Some of the pre-requisites are subjects taken for G. C. E. (A/L) Examination.
Some course units require certain course units to be taken simultaneously with them.
Such course units are called Co-Requisites (CR).
Practical course units are co-requisites for theory course units and vice-versa.

3.6 COMMON COMPULSORY COURSE UNITS


Common Compulsory Course Units (CCCUs) are designed to provide wider knowledge that a student should acquire in
general, outside his/ her academic sphere. A student in any Degree programmes should obtain at least a grade of C for
CCCUs. The common compulsory course units given in Table 3.1( for Applied Sciences Degree Programmes) will be
included if necessary in the best 90 credits or best 120 credits, depending on his/her Degree Programme, and hence will
be considered for the calculations of the final GPA. The common compulsory course units given in Table 3.6 (for Heath
Promotion Degree Programmes) and Table 3.8 (for Information and Communication Technology Degree programmes)
will be included in the best 90 credits or best 120 credits, depending on their Degree Programmes, and hence will be
considered for the calculations of the final GPA.

3.8. ASSESSMENT
3.8.1. METHODS OF ASSESSMENT
The knowledge and skills of a student in a course unit will be assessed throughout the semester as well as at the end of each semester
by means of

Continuous assessments,

End of semester Examination,

Evaluation of Reports, Dissertations and Presentations, etc.


Weightage given to each assessment component will be announced at the beginning of the course unit.
Continuous assessment
Marks obtained for mid semester examination /tutorials / spot tests / practical sessions/ assignments / quizzes / records / reports /
presentations, etc. will be taken into account in the determination of the final grade, depending on the requirements of each course
unit.
End of Semester Examination:
A student will be assessed at the end of each semester either by a theory paper or a practical examination or both, depending on the
course unit. The duration of each end of semester theory examination will be as follows:

For a one credit unit


- a minimum of one hour paper

For a two credit unit


- a two-hour paper

For a three credit unit


- a two and half or three-hour paper

For a unit of more than three credits


- a three hour paper or two papers of two hours duration
The duration of each end of semester practical examination will be notified by the respective Department at the beginning of the
semester.
IMPORTANT
Students are required to satisfy 80% of attendance in lectures/practical classes/tutorials to qualify for the end of semester
examination.

3.8.3 GRADE POINT AVERAGE


Grade Point Average (GPA) is the credit-weighted arithmetic mean of the Grade Point Values, i.e. the GPA is determined by
dividing the total credit-weighted Grade Point Value by the total number of credits.

GPA

(Grade point value of a course unit number of credits of that course unit)
Total number of credits

For example, a student who completed three course units of three credits each, two course units of two credits each and two
course units of one credit each with grades A+,B, D,C+,E,B+ and C respectively would have a GPA of

4.0 3 3.0 3 1.0 3 2.3 2 0.0 2 3.3 1 2.0 1

(Truncated to two decimal places without rounding)

PRE-REQUISITES
The students are required to obtain at least D grades for the credit units considered as pre-requisites.

3.8.5 REFERRED STUDENTS


A student who obtains a grade below C in a particular course unit may re-sit the examination in respect of that course unit for
the purpose of improving the grade; the best grade obtainable in this instance is C. In the event a student obtains a lower grade while
attempting to better the grade, he/she will be entitled to the previous grade.
3.9. DEGREE AWARDING CRITERIA
3.9.1. B.SC. (GENERAL) DEGREE IN APPLIED SCIENCES
To be eligible for the B.Sc. (General) degree in Applied Sciences, a student should offer a minimum of 90 credits, with at least
