The students’ association for industrial and financial analysis was established in 2013. This is a society formed by the undergraduates who are following the degree Industrial Statistics & Mathematical Finance.
The main objectives of SAIFA are to promote the industrial statistics and mathematical finance degree program among the industry, create a unity between the undergraduates, to establish an industrial link, and to build up University of Colombo, Faculty of Science’s undergraduates according to the requirements of this modern corporate world and to be different from others with the high-quality science educational background which is attained from the prominent Science Faculty in Sri Lanka.
The association is conducting several projects to fulfil these objectives.
