Inspired by the success of the institute, SLIIT has now widened its horizons to include Architecture and Quantity Surveying to its degree portfolio. In order to create an environment that supports internationalisation and raises global awareness, students have the option of completing the degree in Sri Lanka or transferring to any of SLIIT’s partner universities in Australia, UK, USA or Canada.

A state of the art Research Centre is available to all students and academic staff in order to promote innovative thinking and foster a research culture.

Overseen by a committee of senior academics, the SLIIT incubator provides necessary facilities to enable innovators to commence startup companies and take it to the next level.
