Are you like most people?

Most people go to a university that...

  • Doesn’t prepare them for a job
  • Doesn’t prepare them to create their own jobs
  • Was not prepared for the pandemic
  • Is led by conventional/traditional leaders
  • Teaches them only through boring lectures and theory
  • Doesn’t have a relationship with them after graduation day
  • Doesn’t connect them with opportunities beyond the classroom

    • Attend ALU
    and...

  • Get well-equipped for a job
  • Prepares you to create your own job and jobs for others
  • Be part of a learning system that is optimized for the pandemic
  • Be led by some of the most innovative educators in the world
  • Learn through hands-on, real-world experiences and amazing peers
  • Be part of a network for life that helps you secure opportunities
  • Become part of a thriving pan-African-global network of experts, mentors, partners and investors.

    • Join the University where
    Africa’s leaders gather.

    Leadership skills alone are not enough to make a maximum impact. Effective leaders require a powerful network of peers, investors, mentors, and more to achieve their full potential. Your choice of University should equip you, not just with the right knowledge and skills, but also with an enabling network across disciplines, industries and interests. Your University should help create connections that will help you succeed in the future. When you study at ALU, you become part of a talented, diverse community from around the world. You are surrounded by driven, talented, and passionate classmates who become valuable collaborators and connectors. You are also exposed to ALU’s unique and powerful network of mentors, guest speakers, experts-in-residence, industry leaders, investors, ALU staff, and employers.

        Why should you
        choose ALU?

        At ALU, we have designed a proven approach that helps you get ready to launch your life of impact - and help you achieve your goals.

        All ALU students get the opportunity to harness the characteristics essential for creating a mission-based life of impact and purpose. This means a core part of our programme is to challenge you to identify the impact you want to have in the world. We then develop the 21st-century skills and network you need as a young leader, professional or entrepreneur, to help achieve this impact.

        The programmes at ALU allow students to explore the fine line between great leadership and entrepreneurial thinking. Students get the opportunity to grow and develop skills such as self-awareness, identifying opportunities, design thinking, proactivity and innovation. They are prepared to become entrepreneurial leaders who will harness the tremendous opportunities that abound on the continent.

        At ALU we believe the key to success is not memorising facts and figures that can change, but on learning life-long skills that you can apply throughout your career. This is why we intentionally develop skills like self-leading, leading others, entrepreneurial thinking, quantitative reasoning, critical thinking, managing complex projects, and communication in students through practice, on-the-job experience, coaching, and regular feedback – in conjunction with our academic programmes.

        ALU has students from over 40 countries. Our students become part of a talented, diverse community from around the world. They are surrounded by driven, talented, and passionate classmates. They are exposed to ALU’s unique and powerful network of mentors, guest speakers, experts-in-residence, industry leaders, investors, ALU staff, and employer partners.
