Tomorrow University & AI Academy Partner in Sri Lanka

Tomorrow University of Applied Sciences and AI Academy have announced a partnership to make world-class, challenge-based education accessible to learners in SriLanka. Through the partnership, students can earn three of TomorrowUniversity's accredited, fully online degrees while building real skills through local mentorship and industry connections in Colombo:

• Bachelor of Science in Artificial Intelligence and Sustainable Technologies
• Impact MBA in Artificial Intelligence & Technological Transformation
• Impact MBA in Responsible Entrepreneurship & Venture Creation

The partnership pairs two organizations that share one conviction: people learn to work with AI by building with it, not by studying it from a distance. It arrives at a moment when Sri Lanka is investing deliberately in its technology ecosystem, from startup incubation to deep-tech innovation, and when the demand for globally credentialed, job-ready talent has never been higher.

What Learners Get

All three programs are delivered entirely online through Tomorrow University's learning platform. Like all of our programs, they are challenge-based andexam-free: learners build future-ready skills by tackling real-world challenges in their own way, supported by a global community and industry experts.

The Bachelor of Science in Artificial Intelligence and Sustainability is an180-ECTS degree with four intakes a year, in March, June, September and November. The Impact MBA in AI & Technological Transformation and the Impact MBA in Responsible Entrepreneurship & Venture Creation give working professionals an accredited German MBA built around real impact rather than case studies.

"In Sri Lanka, people aren't asking whether AI will replace them. They're asking who gets to build the frontier. That's the mindset our model is made for. We teach people to build with AI on real problems, and AI Academy has been proving that approach works in Colombo for years. We're proud to bring our accredited degrees to learners who are already doing the work." – Christian Rebernik, Co-Founder and Co-CEO, Tomorrow University of Applied Sciences

Local support is provided by AI Academy at the Colombo Innovation Tower and includes bootcamp weekends, industry mentor sessions, internship opportunities and career support, along with networking events that connect learners to Sri Lanka's technology community. These local components are enrichment designed to help learners apply what they study. They are not part of the accredited degrees, which Tomorrow University delivers, teaches, assesses, and certifies.

Students enroll with Tomorrow University and are taught directly by it. AI Academy is Tomorrow University's authorized local partner for these programs in Sri Lanka.

Why This Partnership, and Why Now

AI is now within reach for almost everyone, making access table stakes rather than an advantage. The real differentiator is human: knowing which problems are worth solving, and having the judgment to know where to apply AI and where not to. That is exactly what challenge-based education is built to develop, and what conventional education too often leaves out.

AI Academy has been proving this approach in Colombo for years, in an ecosystem that already rewards building over theory. Partnering with Tomorrow University extends that model with accredited global degrees, a worldwide learning community, and international exposure, alongside the talent, capital, and momentum Sri Lanka's technology ecosystem is already drawing toward itself.

"Fifteen years ago, we were told a world-class creative workforce couldn't be built in Sri Lanka. We built the Academy of Design to prove otherwise. AI Academy carries that same belief into artificial intelligence. Partnering with Tomorrow University gives our learners accredited global degrees while they build, connect, and grow right here at the Colombo Innovation Tower." – Linda Speldewinde, Founder, AI Academy

Applications for all three programs are open. Learners in Sri Lanka can begin their application and arrange a conversation through AI Academy.
