SLTC offers a four-year undergraduate degree in Music, the first of its kind to be offered by a non-state university in Sri Lanka.

Consequently, the SLTC Music programme has become the only alternative academic degree other than the Music degree programmes offered by state-owned institutions which offer a first degree in Music. While being the youngest institution of its calibre, SLTC is already being recognized as an institution that offers the most updated and innovative music degree in the country.

The objectives of creating such a Music educational programme are,
