Overview

LNBTI is the only Japanese four-year university in Sri Lanka that has adopted the Japanese university education model, and in addition to the bachelor’s degree program in IT (in English), we cultivate human resources with Japanese language proficiency (JLPT-N3 or above) and high English proficiency. This education model is designed to solve the human resource issues in Sri Lanka and Japan from both the short-term and mid- to long-term perspectives, and in the future, we aim to support the offshore development and international expansion of Japanese companies where our graduates are employed. We are currently working to find internships and employment opportunities for our graduates at Japanese companies.

Metatechno, the parent company in Japan, has a track record of employing Sri Lankan IT personnel, and based on that experience, is developing human resources in Sri Lanka to resolve the serious shortage of human resources in the IT field in Japan. The first few graduates are expected to be born at the end of this fiscal year, with about 20 people expected to graduate next year, and the number of graduates to steadily increase from the third year onwards, with the aim of producing about 200 people per year in the future.
