BSc Hons IT at Moratuwa Sri Lanka - Was it worth it?

T=0: The Decision

Before starting the BSc Hons in IT at Moratuwa, I was at a crossroads between choosing a more theoretical computer science path or a professional IT degree. The decision was hard because I knew the workload would be intense, and I'd be sacrificing four years of potential earning time for a promise of future stability in a volatile economy

I chose this specific program because of its reputation for being 'industry-first' rather than just academic. I wanted a curriculum that wouldn't just teach me COBOL or outdated theories but would actually connect me with the giants like WSO2, 99X ,Sysco Labs etc. I gambled on the idea that having the faculty’s network behind me would be a safety net that no self-taught route could provide

Within 4 years, I wanted to transition from a student to a professional with a strong industry network and a high-GPA transcript that actually carries weight in the job market.
