Interview with Abdallah Mwase from Tanzania

Graduated from Doctorate of Business Management





How has the learning process based in Andragogy impacted your life personally and Professionally?

First of all, let me say that I am very glad that I had studied this degree at AIU. I found it quite different from all the degrees I have studied, starting especially from the curriculum, because you have to make your own. It is beneficial to your working position. Second thing that I found interesting is the way of assessment, especially the advisors and the tutors. They are very good. They give you quick response to every problem you have. For example, in assignments it took from one to two days to respond. At local universities I have studied in back home, an answer to an assignment could take months or even never happen.

What do you think is the greatest benefit that you have found at AIU, professionally and personally?

I have found the highest degree academically and in my working place. Now I am more fit in making my work as a supervisor on maintenance. I am in a higher level especially in decision making. I am well equiped –better equipped– than when I started.

Academically, how did you find the level of the programs in comparison to local universities?

The level is very good, compared to any other degrees that I have completed. It is high, over the standard. And if you learn freely, you can find problem solutions so easy.

Now, tell us, back in Tanzania, how can you give back to your community and to your family?

I could say that my family is quite happy that I am able to do more responsible jobs. Back in my country we have much equipment and now I am prepared to manage it with more responsibility. And I think I am going to earn more, and my economic situation will change since I got this degree.

What would you recommend to a person that is thinking in enrolling at AIU?

I would recommend my friends and my family to join right away because they will start to study comfortably.

“I enrolled with a federal University in Nigeria for a part-time study, the activity of the lecturers and their mode of teaching discouraged me, and I withdrew from the University. I made several attempt to get myself registered online it failed. I finally got myself registered with the Atlantic International University, which granted me (partial) scholarship to study at my own pace. I was given the student manual which described the system of education I have never heard of before in my life, and this just fitted in with the kind of study I desired to have in my life time. ... The academic department and student services assured me of their support to achieve my desired dream. My special thanks go to my Tutor Anabela Fonte who was there to give me the best advice on how to go about the design proposal ... (and) to my Advisor, Dr. Jackie Burton who makes sure that I follow the standard set for me by the school. She advices me never to copy someone’s work without making mention of the author of that book or article. ... God Bless you. I also want to thank the Academic department and student services for their support and encouragement. Thank you all.

“During my sophomore time at Atlantic International University, I experienced lots of opportunities for Marketing career. ... I could channel new experiences and perceptions into my work. In addition, on a more personal level. ... I am visually impaired and chose Atlantic International University because of its superior services for people living in Europe. ... I quickly learned that being a student at AIU I have to change some objectives like timing and better internal coordination. As a result of my time with AIU, I gained an impressive resume and marketing portfolio. I feel that my new experience and new knowledge developed a great deal. I learned innovative techniques in both study and research and learned how to conduct selfdirected research. ... I became more independent in my daily work, orientation and mobility, daily living skills and ability to reach more objectives at my workplace. I gained a great deal of confidence in my abilities to adapt and succeed on my own. ... My time at Atlantic International University was an experience I will treasure always.
