African Leadership University is a university built to educate the next generation of ethical and entrepreneurial leaders for the continent and the world. At ALU, we are designing the most innovative, field-based and experiential education to catalyze young, creative and agile African leaders to change the future.
At ALU, you will be prepared for success in the world after graduation. You will identify what it takes to find meaningful professional paths, and be guided in using your time at ALU to prepare for this future with the relevant skills, experiences, knowledge, and network that you need to succeed.
ALU is not for everyone, it’s for the discerning few who dare to be different and who dare to do hard things.
Students at the African Leadership university have declared missions to solve some of Africa’s pressing challenges. Watch the impact they are creating.
When you study at ALU, you will graduate with more than just a degree. You will embark on a self-driven, personalised learning journey supported by self-sourced resources, tools and network.
Through this, you will turn into a leader with drive, resilience, humility and a sense of purpose. So whether you choose to work individually or with other ALU students, you will develop reciprocal relationships with the communities around you and be connected to compelling and meaningful opportunities where you will learn by doing through field based and real-world experiences.
Graduate with a portfolio that highlights your leadership report, skills map, and mission manifesto.
Be equipped with the top skills that employers are looking for.
Publish a thesis that highlights your key learnings and insights from your learning experience.
Graduate with a portfolio highlighting the work you have done that illustrate your competence to future employers.
Build lifelong relationships with current and future influential leaders who can help fuel your ambitions.
Gain one full year of work experience from at least 3 internships before graduation.
Gain entrepreneurial experience through starting a venture of your own that you can later build to great success.

ALU has two campuses: Rwanda and Mauritius.
On our Rwanda campus, students who apply and are admitted for the 2022-2023 academic year will commence their studies over three trimesters starting as indicated below.
Each cohort will have the opportunity to choose either the BSc (Hons) in Software Engineering or BSc (Hons) in Entrepreneurial Leadership degree programmes during their third trimester and once ALU’s re-accreditation process of the two programmes has been finalised.

ALU provides higher education for a higher purpose. Our students declare missions, not majors.
They develop the real-world skills to take on the world’s most pressing challenges. And they take ownership of their learning from day one through our peer and student-led approach – because ALU believes in the power and agency of young people to start shaping the future right now.
Together with a world-class faculty and staff, our students are igniting a ripple of positive impact across Africa and the world. Join us
