Academic Excellence

ACU is setting a global standard of excellence by bringing in teaching and research faculty from around the world and Africa who are renown in their fields. The approach to learning at ACU is unlike anything I’ve experienced. Reading and preparations are done outside of class time to make the classroom experience a place for discussion and debate. Interaction with the history of ideas and seeing everything from within a vibrant faith in God is an exceptional experience for learning.

Practical Application

One of the most unique and enjoyable aspects of ACU is the opportunity to do something with your hands - to work. ACU calls it the “Student Labour Programme.” All of the students work a variety of jobs for a few hours on campus to help cut the costs, gain some experience, and appreciate the benefit of serving each other through our work so that we can all enjoy a better university environment. I have really come to appreciate work and the dignity of accomplishing something that benefits everyone.

Loving Relationships

Being a Christian university, we all have a common bond in Jesus Christ. This really makes ACU more like a family than a school. The friendships are deep and make the whole learning experience fun and exciting. The studies are hard work, but doing them with instructors who are mentors and care about you, and friends who encourage one another, make the work of university a great experience!
