History

Founded in 2015, as a subsidiary of Sri Lanka Telecom, its residential campus is located at the 42 acre former Satellite Station premises in Padukka. SLT Campus's city campus is located at the TRACE Expert City in Colombo. It is the first corporate funded, fully residential private research university in Sri Lanka. Through Sri Lanka Telecom, it came under the Ministry of Telecommunication and Digital Infrastructure.

In 2017, it was recognized as a degree-awarding institution by the Ministry of Higher Education and Highways, with a gazette notification indicating it could grant BSc Engineering degrees in the fields of power, electronic, ICT and telecommunication engineering.[3]

In 2021 SLT divested its ownership and sold the university to Tempest Two Ltd a joint venture between Capital Alliance and Insite Holdings.[4] [5]
