EXPERIENCE AT AIU
I have noticed with great
satisfaction that AIU is truly and actively working on advancing the philosophy
of education based on self-learning and self-reliance as a universal value of
knowledge, which is scientific and creative. I am also highly moved by the
approach of AIU to create a favorable environment where humanity is connected
on global stage by common value of knowledge for common cause and purpose. I
have witnessed thus that the whole strategic approach of the AIU`S Academic
program is geared towards that end. Learning is creating knowledge. AIU proves
on its program that knowledge becomes relevant only when it contributes to the
wellbeing and life of humanity, which I learnt much and found it very
practical.
I have spent a very happy and
academically constructive and productive time with the AIU for almost three
years of learning and researching on a PH.D program in International Relations.
I have been indeed fortunate enough to learn much from the intensive, but
systematic methodology of learning. It has enabled me to realize the
universality of knowledge and its value to humanity. The whole program has
provided me a new spirit of academic strength based on self-motivated and
self-empowered skill of learning. In this connection, my experience with AIU
has not only been a learning place of such the highest level of academic
program but also a place which has so much impacted on the scope of my
knowledge of the world to understand it in a holistic and scientific manner. I
am sure this would help me to better play a positive role at different levels in
creating a favorable environment for human development.
I am deeply grateful for the wonderful work of
AIU with its entire staff and management and would kindly express my high
appreciation. My special thanks also go to my advisors and tutors for their
encouragement, advice and guidance in my program. They have made me feel at
home and self-confident. I just encourage AIU to pursue the excellent job they
are doing in promoting a practical learning program internationally in the
services of human development.
