If you’re searching for an IT degree after O/L, you’re most likely looking for a clear path to begin higher education in IT right after your Ordinary Level exam, without waiting for A/Ls.
At LNBTI (Lanka Nippon BizTech Institute), students can start an internationally recognised degree pathway after O/L through the BSc (Hons) Computing (Information Systems) awarded by the University of Greenwich (UK). This programme is designed to build your skills from fundamentals to advanced computing, with structured modules, projects, and industrial exposure.
Starting early after O/L can help you:
build IT skills sooner (programming, web, databases, systems)
gain confidence through structured learning
create projects and a portfolio while others are still deciding
move toward internships and career direction earlier
If you’re motivated and ready to learn, an after O/L pathway can be a smart long-term move.
This is LNBTI’s dedicated after O/L degree pathway.
Key details
Degree: BSc (Hons) Computing (Information Systems)
Duration: 5 years (full-time)

Students who want an IT degree after O/L usually worry about difficulty. The good news is this pathway begins with a foundation stage and builds gradually.
You begin with modules that prepare you for degree-level IT, such as:
Essentials of ICT
English for ICT
Introduction to Programming
Career Development
Mathematics for ICT
Internet and Web Development
In the early stage, you strengthen foundations in:
programming and methodologies
object-oriented thinking
systems analysis and design
web development basics
databases and computing concepts
This year is where most students start creating real confidence in IT.
As you progress, the focus expands into:
data structures and algorithms
software engineering concepts
software testing and technical writing
networks and security direction
project management + advanced computing topics
This is where you begin thinking like an IT professional, not just a student.
A big advantage of choosing an IT degree after O/L is gaining structured industry experience.
Year 3 includes:
a software development group project
quality-focused modules
The later stage includes advanced topics and major project work, helping students become job-ready and confident for real-world IT roles.
Depending on your strengths and interest, the programme includes optional directions such as:
Mobile Application Development
Cyber Security & Forensics
Data Science
Business Intelligence
E-Commerce
Management Information Systems
This means you don’t need to decide everything right now. You can start after O/L and specialise later.
This IT degree after O/L pathway is ideal if you:
finished O/Ls and want to start a degree immediately
are interested in programming, web, apps, or broader IT careers
want a structured pathway (not just short courses)
An IT degree can support many job directions, such as:
Associate Software Developer / Developer
Web Developer
QA / Software Testing
Systems Analyst (with experience)
IT Support / Network-related roles (based on your pathway)
Data-related roles (with the right optional modules + practice)
Your final direction depends on the projects you do and the skills you build during the programme.
