CHANCELLOR’S MESSAGE – Dr Ruth Mubanga

Congratulations on your decision to undertake your studies with us at the University of Africa or for considering to do so. The decision to pursue further studies is a big step forward that requires careful consideration. Making a career choice can feel overwhelming in today’s fast changing world where there is a demand for graduates of high calibre who possess 21st Century skills. Today’s competitive job market enhances the need for a good degree from a reputable institution such as ours with a proven track record and the ability to improve at a great pace. I am proud to be associated with the University of Africa and am confident that you will find in it an institution that is always striving to bring out the best in all its members, student-focused, continuously improving and innovating, while maintaining high standards of quality.

I recently received the compliment from a visiting consultant who has worked widely internationally that she has never met a team so able to adapt to such a fast rate of improvement as the University of Africa team has done over the past couple of years. Continuous improvement has become a way of life and it has become deeply ingrained in the culture of the University. This is an important skill to have mastered in an unpredictable world. And so, when joining the University of Africa, you are also joining a team that is continuously evolving, thinking and moving forward. At University of Africa we provide an enjoyable, safe, caring, supportive and intellectually stimulating environment. Studying with us will be rewarding, stimulating and a life changing experience as our courses prepare you for professional life, in line with our motto Empowerment Towards Development. In February 2017, the University of Africa became part of the leading private education provider in Africa, the AdvTech group. This is a group of companies that takes pride in harnessing state of the art technology and providing students with the highest standards of education. This partnership will enable us to liaise with a wide variety of high quality institutions and academics within the group to give the best value to our students. My highlight of every year is graduation day when I have the privilege of awarding diplomas and degrees to hundreds of smiling faces as their proud families look on. I hope that soon I will have the privilege to do the same for you. I wish you all the best with your studies.

2. THE UNIVERSITY OF AFRICA ADVANTAGE

Register at any time of the semester or year. This means that if issues such as finances, work pressures or family issues prevent you from registering, you do not need to wait until January or June to start. studiesstudies.

Continuous registration

throughout the year

Our philosophy is that a student can rather progress at a slower pace, as their finances allow, than not have the opportunity to study at all. For this reason, we allow students more time to complete their studies.

Tuition Fees are spread out over the course of the semester to make

Flexible, affordable and competitive

payment arrangements

You have access to a wide range of text books, research articles and

other supporting information sources from across the globe via our Electronic Resource Centre and Campus Library.

Physical and

Electronic Library

Four examination sessions per year facilitate progress without compromising quality. This compliments the fact that students can register and start their studies any time during the year. It also assists students, who have had to delay their studies due to personal reasons, to start again as soon as they are able.

Exams as you go

We have a culture of continuously optimising our operations in order to make education accessible to the wider community. In this way, the University of Africa has consistently maintained competitive tuition fees, while not forsaking quality of service delivery.

Lower study costs

With distance and part time studies, you can study whilst earning an income. Three further advantages of studying while working are: continue building a career; apply your learning at your workplace and better understand the context in which your studies will be applied.

Learn while you

earn

With our distance learning programmes, a student can take up a job anywhere or relocate for other reasons without interrupting his or her studies – even across borders. This ensures continuity of effort and saves on registration and tuition fees at new institutions.

Seamless locality –

not place bound

In partnership with the AdvTech Group, we have embarked on a major programme of harnessing the latest technology in education for the benefits of our students. This will improve customer service, simplify logistics and enhance connectivity.
