Who we are
Established in 1999 APIIT Sri Lanka is a reputable higher education institution established in partnership with University of Staffordshire in the UK and Asia Pacific University of Technology and Innovation in Malaysia.
We conduct degree programmes (both undergraduate and masters) from the University of Staffordshire, UK in Business Management, Computing/IT and Law. With over 2,000 students in enrolment and an annual intake of over 500 students, we are the largest provider of foreign degree programmes (transnational education – TNE) in Sri Lanka.
Over the past 20 years we have trained nearly 5000 graduates in Business Management, Computing/IT and Law, who are leading teams across the country in the private and international sector. Not only in Sri Lanka but internationally.
Our contribution to higher education goes beyond the production of highly resourceful and enterprising graduates; notably, we have been able to shape the development of private higher education in Sri Lanka and set a benchmark for its quality and standards.
