SLT Campus's city campus is located at the TRACE Expert City in Colombo. It is the first corporate funded, fully residential private research university in Sri Lanka. Through Sri Lanka Telecom, it came under the Ministry of Telecommunication and Digital Infrastructure.

In 2017, it was recognized as a degree-awarding institution by the Ministry of Higher Education and Highways, with a gazette notification indicating it could grant BSc Engineering degrees in the fields of power, electronic, ICT, Civil and telecommunication engineering.[3]
