Our Vision

As the pioneer in Design Education in Sri Lanka, we aspire to be the leading international centre for learning in the area of design, ensuring a continuous supply of proficient designers to the relevant industries. We are also committed to being a creative force in the growth of design as both an educational discipline and a dynamic profession in Sri Lanka and South Asia.

Encouraging, supporting and ensuring the well being of our students, anticipating their needs and the needs of the industry and satisfying those needs will assure our future.

Our Task

As an Educational Institute it is our responsibility to ensure we are making a substantial contribution to society and to the development of the relevant industries. In the areas of design and product development, the Academy is a pioneer in offering professional education. We have therefore, opened up an avenue for school-leavers to study design whilst at the same time helping to satisfy a major requirement of the market place for trained designers. As such we have to ensure the students are trained to the correct skill level and knowledge to suit the needs of the industry. At the Academy we consider this our main task and we are totally committed to the quality of education and direction we offer. We also recognise that a quality educational institute cannot be built without first class Academic Management, discipline and correct faculty. With this in mind we offer a design education on par with the rest of the world together with a truly multicultural teaching faculty from around the world.
