ALU is pioneering a fresh approach to higher education in the 21st century; offering accredited programmes in a unique and imaginative way by integrating students’ learning with the real world. It is known for its entrepreneurship character and facilitating the declaration of life “missions” not just academic “majors.” ALU has its presence in Mauritius and Rwanda.
ABOUT ALU
From the start, we’ve been on a mission to bring the “university of the future” to the world — a place where students declare missions not majors, where real-world experience takes precedence over theoretical classroom lectures, and where learning how to learn has replaced learning facts and figures. Today, ALU is on its way to helping unleash the human potential of a new generation of ethical and entrepreneurial leaders — and in the process, unlock a new era of prosperity and opportunity for Africa and beyond unlike the world has ever seen.
Our mission is not going unnoticed. CNN described ALU — which has campuses in Mauritius and Rwanda — as “The Harvard of Africa;” Fast Company ranked ALU one of the 50 most innovative organisations in the world and the most innovative endeavour in Africa; and The New York Times recognised ALU as one of the eight places in the world “where history is being made”.
