With 25 years of educational excellence, IIT has annexed an eminent position by being an unmatched pioneer in Sri Lanka’s private tertiary education sector in the field of IT and Business that awards internationally reputed British degrees from the University of Westminster.  
The University of Westminster degrees offered at IIT include Software Engineering, Information System with Business Management (ISBM) and Computer Science with specialization pathways in gaming and computer graphics development, mobile and web computing and multimedia computing. One of the key benefits of these degree programmes is that it displays much emphasis on theory and hands-on experience ensuring that students are fully immersed in the practical aspects of the subjects. 
The campus also offers postgraduate programmes such as MSc in Advanced Software Engineering and MSc Software Engineering offered by the University of Westminster.
Apart from academic knowledge, IIT also places great importance in Soft Skill Development, Team work, Motivational projects, Presentation skills and other professional attitudes by encouraging students to take part in national and international competitions such as Microsoft Imagine Cup, National Best Quality Software Awards (NBQSA), Google Summer of Code and e-Swabhimani in which IIT has won many accolades at these competitions.
