AIU is a Different University, Unique and Unrepeatable
We are happy to share with the world and the entire AIU Family these main concepts about our institution.
AIU is part of a Global Community in which each member, the student, fulfills his-her goals in life, becomes productive and makes a positive impact in his-her community. At the end of the student program, he/she will be successful because he/she decided what is best for the student and designed his/her own program.
AIU Graduates around the world are breaking paradigms in Higher Education. We recommend everybody to visit the AIU Press Room to be informed about their outstanding student’s accomplishments.
The knowledge, skills and expertise gained during the student’s studies at AIU are inalienable. No institution or persons can take them away or prevent you from applying them to the betterment of your life, your community or enterprises you decide to pursue. We respect each and every government and educational authority role as a regulating body and also the freedom of persons to choose the best options for their personal development and growth. We are very proud of what all our students have done academically, their professional accomplishments and as global citizens. We also know that our graduates consistently received recognition for their abilities in the form of advancement in the private, public sector worldwide in countless capacities. Those accomplishments and recognition speak loudly to the quality and character of the AIU and its graduates. A better administration of the world village and its resources via an andragogic, unique, open learning model that frees students to discover their passion in life and find their purpose while contributing to solving the world’s problems sustainably and respecting human rights
