The South Eastern University of Sri Lanka is a public university in Oluvil in Sri Lanka.[1] Established in 1995 as a university college, it became a full-fledged university in 1996. Like all public universities in Sri Lanka, SEUSL receives the bulk of its funding from the University Grants Commission (UGC), part of the Ministry of Higher Education in Colombo. The UGC and the central government therefore exert a great deal of control over SEUSL.
