Bridging academic learning with real-world experience, the Department of Statistics organized an educational field visit to the Colombo Stock Exchange (CSE), Colombo, on 21 September 2026, for its 3rd and 4th year students.
The visit offered students an opportunity to gain first-hand insight into the operations of Sri Lanka’s capital market, including stock market activities, market information, listed companies, and the broader financial ecosystem. It also helped students understand how statistics, data analysis, and quantitative knowledge are applied in financial markets and investment-related decision-making.
The experience provided a valuable platform for students to connect their classroom knowledge with industry practice while gaining a broader perspective on the diverse applications of Statistics in the financial sector.
