The Diploma in Writership and Communication course was introduced in 1987 by the Department of Sinhala and Mass Communication of University of Sri Jayewardenepura. This course is the oldest diploma course offered by the Faculty of Humanities and Social Sciences. The main aim of the course is to provide a university level education to those who are engaged in writing and communication but do not have access to a formal advanced education.

This course provides subject related knowledge in the fields of language, literature and communication relevant to the art of writing and communication. This is the only course currently being conducted in Sri Lanka covering these respected fields.
