Welcome to Regional Educational Services

The Regional Educational Services (RES) division of the OUSL provides extensive support required by the Six Faculties of the university to conduct their academic programs. There are nine (09) Regional Centers and Nineteen (19) Study Centres spread throughout the country, all coming under the purview of this division. RES is responsible for planning implementing and overseeing the Regional Education Services.

The network of regional and study centers spanning the country enabling students to successfully follow study programs throughout the island.  This makes OUSL an ideal place of study for those working and living even in the most remote parts of Sri Lanka.

09 Regional Centres

19 Study Centres

As one of the leading tertiary education providers in the country, The Open University of Sri Lanka is currently catering to the higher educational requirements of nearly 40,000 students. With the Open and Distance Learning facilities, we provide flexible learning opportunities to our students so that they can achieve their higher educational dreams conveniently amidst the other commitments of their lives. I believe that OUSL stands out among the other higher educational institutes in the country because OUSL is the only national university in the country that has a strong network of Regional and Study Centers spread across the country. Our RES network provides a great opportunity for students to continue their higher education at a demographic location selected according to their convenience. At OUSL, we provide a ladder of opportunities for anyone who is aspiring to reach the heights of their education.

Therefore, I warmly invite all of you who are aspiring to get a nationally recognized degree from a well-known tertiary education provider in the country to come and join us to register for an academic program at any Regional or Study Center spread across the country. As your most trusted higher education partner, the RES team of OUSL is ready to assist you in selecting the most appropriate study program for you to begin your higher education journey!
