What are we looking for?

We welcome students from diverse backgrounds representing all parts of the country and also countries
far and wide. All students go through the same application process. This is what makes us different
from the other national universities. Students have to submit an application and go through a selection
process in order to be admitted to the Open University. Ideally, we would like to have students who:

The Open Distance Learning Method

Explained
What is ‘open’ about the OUSL?
At the OUSL we believe that anyone who wants to study further should be given the opportunity to do
so. We have an ‘open admissions policy’ where many of our courses do not require formal qualifications
at the certificate level which provide an entry point to higher levels of learning; we firmly beleive in
providing a ladder of opportunities from pre-degree programmes to postgraduate qulifications. We also
encourage the concept of life long learning – that you should be able to pursue education at any point in
your life, at your own pace and according to your interests.
If you are 18 years of age, you are already eligible to register for a broad mix of courses offered by the
OUSL. However, at the moment some progarmmes have selection tests as the demand for these
courses always exceed our capacity to cater to it.
What is distance learning?

Unlike in the conventional university system where it is compulsory to attend lectures and be physically
present in the university, the learning method at the OUSL is such that students can study from their
homes and workplaces without making regular visits to the university.
This means that you study on your own, at your own place and pace according to what is most suited for
you. You will be provided with course materials to read, watch and listen to discussions, assignments to
submit and support from academic staff to help you to learn on your own. We also encourage you to
form peer groups among yourselves and to engage in group study. The support you receive includes
 printed course modules especially written by specialised Course Teams at the OUSL
 audio-Visual material,
 online connectivity, and
 day Schools and seminars to provide face to face interaction with your lecturers.
When you register with us you are given your course material in printed and/or audio-visual form. Some
of the courses are fully online and you are provided with instructions as to how you use the online
courses.
You are also be given a study pack consisting of guidelines and procedures, your assignments and an
activity schedule. The student guidelines explain all you need to know about particular programme(s)
and level(s) for which you have registered. The activity schedule gives you all the information regarding
your assignment submission dates, Day Schools and examination dates.
7
What are Day Schools?

Day Schools provide opportunities for you to meet your teachers. An academic member of staff is
appointed as a Module Leader for each course. These are academics from the department who are
responsible for the quality assuarance of the course and help you in your learning experience. Visiting
Academics who work with the Module Leaders are appointed to support students in all regional and
study centres where Day Schools are held. When you attend a Day School, you are able to discuss and
solve your learning difficulties by discussing them with your Day School academic. You can also make an
appointment and meet the Module Leader during weekdays or get in touch with them online at
anytime.
What are Course Materials?

The written course material you receive when you register with us is called the ‘tutor in print’. It is 'a
substitute for the lecture' in the conventional system. The course materials are specially written for the
OUSL by experts in each field. These include academic staff from the OUSL as well as academics from
other local and sometimes foreign universities. They are interactive in style and contain in-text
questions, activities, and review questions for students to reflect on the work and for self-assessment.
Sometimes your course materials are in the form of Interactive Multi Media (IMM) or online. IMM is
where you are given a course pack consisting of printed book, CDs/DVDs which includes reading
material and assignments. Fully online courses are offered as well, where all the teaching and learning
takes place online.
What are Regional Services?

The OUSL has developed a network of regional and study centres throughout the island. These centres
are used for the distribution of course materials, to provide library facilities, submission of assignments,
and sometime for registration and Day School sessions. You can check-in at the regional or study centre
nearest to you and register for your programmes.
What is a Study Programme?

A study programme is a combination of compulsory and elective courses which leads to a Certificate,
Diploma, Degree or Postgraduate degree.
What are Continuing Education Courses (CE courses)?

Continuing Education courses or CE courses are offered to students who are registered for regular study
programmes. Students can choose to follow these courses if they wish to expand their knowledge in
areas which interest them. For instance, the BA in Social Sciences offers a range of CE course for
students such as Philosophy of Science, Soft Skills, Social Harmony etc. Some of these CE courses may
be compulsory for certain Study Programmes.
8
What is credit rating?

All Study Programmes and courses are given a specific credit rating. This represents the academic value
and work load of a course or a programme. It also reflects the time that should be spent on the course.
At the OUSL, one credit is defined as 40-50 notional learning hours. When a credit rating is allocated to
a course, it takes into account the time you need to spend on all the activities that you need to do to
successfully complete a course. This includes reading and understanding course material, face to face
sessions, continuous assessments, final examinations, reading reference material etc.
What is a Course Code?

Each course that is offered at the OUSL is assigned a course code. This code gives a unique identity to
the course. Course codes consist of 3 letters and 4 digits for example, SSU2207. The first two letters of
all the courses offered by the SSD will have the letters ‘SS’. The letter ‘u’ refers to undergraduate level
courses.
How do I decide on my workload?

If you register for a regular study programme such as the Certificate course, BA or MA, you may register
for a minimum of 9 credits or a maximum of 36 credits. Additionally, you may register for up to 9 credits
of CE courses.
When you decide on your workload, please consider the number of hours you will have to spend for
each course. For example, if you register for a total of 36 credits you will have to allocate at least 28
hours per week for your studies. You need to assess if you have this kind of time available for studying
before you decide on an appropriate workload for yourself.
9
Student Life
One of the advantages of the OUSL is that you will be part of an extremely diverse student population.
We have students from all over the country, employed students, and students from different age
groups. This will give you the opportunity to interact with different types of people and to share
experiences with them.
You might think that being a distance mode student that you will not be able to experience a ‘batch’ like
your peers in the conventional system. That is not true – we encourage you to take an active part in the
student life of the university, to engage with other students and to make the fullest use of the extremely
unique opportunities presented through the diversity of the student population of the OUSL.
Does the Open University have Student Unions?

Yes. OUSL has its own student union. We encourage you to find out about the student union and to get
involved. Our faculty believes in student rights and two students are elected from the HSS Faculty to
represent student issues to the Faculty Board. Student representation at the Faculty Board is a medium
through which you can ensure that your interests are represented to the faculty and get heard. The
effectiveness of this opportunity that is presented to you depends on the level of interest you take in
making sure your views are represented among the student body. So we encourage you to network and
get to know your fellow students and to organise yourself.
Other activities
The university regularly hosts other activities. The SSD for example hosts various seminars, talks and
film shows. These are often open to students as well. These are advertised within the department and
on the website.

In September 2011, a newspaper advertising the BA degree in Social Sciences at the OUSL led me to
enroll. I was happy to learn that I could fulfill an aspiration. I wanted to acquire this knowledge and at
the same time experience the Sri Lanka tertiary education system. To this end I needed to go through
the course to fulfill both aims.
At the orientation Dr. Abeysinghe spoke of having to make many sacrifices of our own personal choice if
to succeed. He was right, and the sacrifices made so far have been daunting but fulfilling. I was not a
conventional student who was embarking on a bachelor’s degree, progressing directly from A/Ls.
Rather, I am a mature student and needed a programme that fitted in with my full time job and personal
responsibilities. This was to be a challenge.
I am indebted to every professor I had the grace to meet and learn from. Your valuable insights, your
advice, have held me in good stead and I thank you for delivering day schools to us. I have had the
privilege of sharing some interesting talks with you, respecting your learning and your valuable work
being put back into the system of education in Sri Lanka. You have also given of your time whenever I
called upon it. I am grateful for that as I had so little time to make visits to the library during the week.
I am now nearing the end of the proverbial “tunnel” and can hardly comprehend how I have made it
thus far in the allotted time. I give credit to my hard work no doubt, my family and friends, but I truly
believe it has been a joint effort together with the university faculty. I have no doubt in my mind that if I
did not have the support of the faculty of the Department, my hard work could have no successful end in
sight. For this, I humbly thank you all.

Assessment and Evaluation

There are two types of assessments at the OUSL. These are Continuing Assessments and Final
Examinations.
Continuing Assessments (CA)

Your progress in a course that you are registered for is assessed periodically through continuous
assessments. There can be several CAs per course. There are different types of CAs such as Open Book
Tests (OBTs), Multiple Choice Questions (MCQs), Close Book Tests (CBTs), Oral Presentations and
Learning Journals. You may also be assessed on your participation in online forums. Oral presentations
can be conducted in three methods such as group presentations, poster presentations and in oral form.
Students are free to select one method out of the above three types of oral presentations.
A percentage of your average mark from all the CA components will be included in your final grade. For
example in the BA Study Programme, 50% of your final grade will be calculated from your CA marks.
Final Examinations
At the end of each semester you will have Final Examinations. If you fail to sit for a Final Examination
you will have to re-register for the course in the subsequent year.
If you get a FA, RE or RF grade it means that you will have to offer that particular subject once again.
When you offer a subject again, you need to pay for it as well.
15
Careers for Social Science Graduates

At the SSD we believe that social sciences are an integral part of higher education and that social science
graduates are valuable assets to the country. That is why we offer high quality social science
programmes. Social Science education provides you with a broad and humanistic outlook on life. It
gives you a critical perspective and a set of skills to intervene meaningfully in the world around you.
Our graduates work in a range of areas locally and internationally. They work in the public sector as
administrators and managers; they work in the field of research and academia; in the development and
humanitarian sectors with local and global non-governmental organisations and multilateral agencies
such as the United Nations; they work in the private sector in human resource departments and other
areas; they work in the media industry and some of our graduates are active in public life in various
capacities.
These are some career paths that are open to you as well. You might already be working in one of these
sectors and wanting to enhance your career. Or you might be looking for an opportunity to switch
careers and go into something new. Or you might be a school leaver, just about to start your
professional career. As you can see, there are many options available to you with an undergraduate or
postgraduate training in the social sciences.
Having completed my (London) A/Ls from a Commerce background I first joined OUSL as a student in
2007 to pursue the B.A in Social Sciences. Although I had no prior knowledge about Mass
Communication or Sociology, the programme exposed me to a broader way of thought so that
mundane and inconsequential events in our society had greater significance as a whole and a
profound impact on our lives. Having completed the B.A, I was able to join the Department of Social
Studies as a Visiting Academic. In addition, I was also involved in coordination activities of the Diploma
in Youth Development Programme.
In 2012, I enrolled in the M.A in Development Studies and Public Policy Programme offered by the
Department. Here I was fortunate enough to have been tutored by a distinguished lecture panel
hailing from a development policy background. Being exposed to development theorists ranging from
Sen, North, Stiglitz to Butler etc. I was able to gradually view development issues from a multi-
disciplinary lens. Currently, I work for the Department of Legal Studies in coordinating the LL.B Degree
Programme offered by the Department.

Courses Offered
This section describes the different programmes offered by the Social Studies Department. It will give
you the following details for each course:
 Brief description about the study programme

 Entry requirements
 Costs
I applied for the M.A in Development Studies and Public Policy course when I was working for Save
the Children International. The theoretical knowledge which I gained over the past two years has
helped me a lot in my professional work. In addition, the flexibility of learning enabled me to
balance my work and study.
The M.A course in Development studies and Public Policy at Open University has provided me with
skills in critical thinking and given me an understanding of development issues around the world,
especially the needs of children in different and challenging contexts. I have over twelve years work
experience with a first degree in Sociology from University of Sabaragamuwa in Sri Lanka. This
programme helped reaffirm my commitment to the spirit of humanitarianism and development
work.
I am currently working on an international assignment with Save the Children International in

Afghanistan, where I help advocate for the rights of children in conflict affected zones. In this
context, the skills and knowledge which I got through this course have been essential in helping me
to interact and coordinate with different potential ministries and government stakeholders.
I am particularly inspired by the “Household Economic Theory” of Garry Becker. He has brought
economics into the analysis of social issues related to the family. It has helped me as an
international development worker to rationally think and make the right decision at the right time,
even in my personal life. I would say that pursuing the M.A in Development Studies and Public Policy
was the right decision for me, which will help me in my future career.

BA in Social Sciences
The BA in Social Sciences is a 3 year multi-disciplinary degree offered in the English medium. The BA in
Social Sciences offers you the opportunity to obtain a multi-disciplinary social science training while also
selecting a area of focus in which you can obtain a special orientation. Students who register for the BA
can choose from the following area of focus:
Communication Studies
Communication Studies equip you to insightfully understand the role of human communication
in the development process from individual to institutional levels. The discipline enables you to
analyze how the communication process impacts on the quality of life within a given social
system, proactively or reactively, impacting on the quality of human freedom and your capacity
to empower others with thoughts and actions. The critical understanding of theory will
positively help you to influence system based reforms proactively especially in the areas of
governance at micro and at macro organizational levels. The discipline, through its broad
curriculum will have a liberating impact with purposive human communication becoming a way
of life in a society lagging behind with qualities that undermine human existence.
Politics and International Studies

Politics and International Studies offer courses that guide and enable you to understand the
complexities of national, global and societal politics. With conceptual exposure to the science
and art of politics, you will become an astute observer of your society, governments and
political systems around the world. You will also begin to think politically and reflect critically
about politics. Subjects explored in this stream include politics and governance; political
ideologies; gender and politics; cyber politics; politics under globalization; international political
economy; conflict, war and peace; political violence; security; world politics; and political theory.
This is an excellent platform if you are interested in the systematic study of politics, political
processes, political behavior and values, political institutions, global politics; and politics at the
level government, society and citizens.
Economics and Development Studies

While providing a good knowledge on the principles of Economics, this will also expose the
students to different specialised branches of Economic analysis that would help them
understand issues of development through an economic perspective. The students will learn to
develop valuable insights into the various economic events, and be an informed participant in
the modern economy.
25
Society and Culture Studies

Drawing from Sociology and Social Anthropology, Society and Culture Studies offers you an
exciting range of options that looks at social institutions, social and cultural processes. It
provides you with the concepts, knowledge and skills to understand the world around, to
analyse issues of social relevance and to intervene meaningfully in the world around you. Some
of the topics covered in this stream include globalisation, marriage and family, education,
political systems, social movements, religious institutions, identity, social psychology, gender
and development. If you are curious about people, like to understand more about your self and
the society in which you live and plan a people oriented career, this will be useful and
interesting.
