The Asia Pacific Institute of Information Technology (APIIT), Sri Lanka was incorporated in September 1999 in partnership with APIIT Education Group in Malaysia with the objective of increasing access to internationally recognised higher education qualifications for Sri Lankan students.
APIIT Sri Lanka has a longstanding partnership with Staffordshire University, UK. Starting with the quality assurance of APIIT Diploma programmes in 2000, over the years, Staffordshire University has validated several Computing, Business and Law awards for delivery at APIIT Sri Lanka.
Presently, with a population of over 2,600 students and an annual intake of nearly 1500 students, APIIT Sri Lanka is one of the largest providers of foreign degrees in Sri Lanka. APIIT Sri Lanka has produced more than 5,000 graduates in the disciplines of Business, Computing and Law; we have a track record of producing highly employable graduates with over 90% of our students securing gainful employment within 3 months of graduation.
APIIT Sri Lanka also partners with NCUK to deliver internationally recognized pathway programmes through which our students can reach 60+ universities in 5 countries across the globe. In 2023, 9 out of 10 of the Top Achievers in South Asia for the NCUK International Foundation Year as well as the Top Achiever for South Asia were from APIIT Sri Lanka.
We also have direct articulation agreements with Deakin University, Western Sydney University and Southern Cross University in Australia and a partnership with AIT, Thailand. More recently APIIT Sri Lanka has established a partnership with the Institute of Chartered Accountants of England and Wales (ICAEW) to deliver study programmes leading to professional qualifications in Accountancy.
In 2022, APIIT Sri Lanka expanded the branch operation in Kandy, the capital city in central Sri Lanka by establishing a fully-fledged campus. Through this initiative, APIIT Sri Lanka took its unique brand of industry oriented, student centric and technology empowered higher education provision beyond the boundaries of Colombo.
The Staffordshire University – APIIT Sri Lanka partnership featuring as a case study in the QAA Country Report 2020 is a testament to our commitment to quality.
Having firmly established itself as the higher education institution of choice for a high-quality higher education experience in Sri Lanka, APIIT Sri Lanka is poised to further enhance its contribution to providing higher education opportunities for Sri Lankan youth.
