The Hon. (Dr.) (Ms.) Harini Amarasuriya
Wayamba University was established with four faculties under the Gazette of 17 August 1999: Applied Sciences, Business Studies and Finance, Agriculture and Plantation Management, and Livestock, Fisheries and Nutrition. It now has six faculties, with Medicine and Technology added, but no proposal has been submitted to establish an Engineering Faculty, so the University Grants Commission has not approved one.
