Introduction

Along with other Departments of the Faculty of Arts, the Department of Classical Languages joins the Centre for Distant and Continuing Education of the University of Peradeniya (CDCE) to offer a distant BA program in Sanskrit .

The Department of Classical Languages has prepared the current curriculum by incorporating constructive tendencies in Sanskrit studies and in order to keep abreast of high-quality Distant and Continuing Education Programs in the rest of the world.

In preparing the current curriculum, the Sanskrit faculty of the Department of Classical Languages has taken into account both the dimensions of knowledge and practice that students obtain and frequent obstacles plus potential pitfalls encountered by them. Further, suggestions from Sanskrit scholars as well as students were sought regarding the ways of improving the curriculum and thereby optimizing the Distant BA Program to increase student employability.
