ABOUT AGA KHAN UNIVERSITY
The Aga Khan University (AKU) is a pioneering,
not-for-profit, private university that works to improve the quality of life in
the developing world and beyond. AKU educates leaders who make a difference in
the lives of their fellow citizens, addresses widespread problems through its
research, and delivers international-quality health care. In everything we do,
we strive to serve as a role model that raises standards in the societies in
which we work. We empower women and the disadvantaged, build support for
pluralism and collaborate with government, local partners, and world-renowned
organizations to achieve shared goals. Founded in 1983 in Pakistan by His
Highness the Aga Khan, AKU launched its first programmes in East Africa in 2000.
Today, we have campuses in Kenya, Tanzania, and Uganda, and have awarded more
than 3,000 diplomas and degrees across the region.
Our academic units in East Africa include our Medical
College, School of Nursing and Midwifery, Graduate School of Media and
Communications, East Africa Institute, and Institute for Human Development. The
300- bed Aga Khan University Hospital in Nairobi is East Africa’s leading
private teaching hospital. The University provides scholarships to nine out of
10 of its students in East Africa.
AKU is one of 10 agencies of the Aga Khan Development
Network. Working mainly in Africa and South and Central Asia, AKDN helps those
in need to improve their own lives through a long-term, multifaceted approach
to development that spans economic, social, and cultural dimensions. AKDN’s
roots in East Africa date back more than a century, and its activities benefit
millions of East Africans every year.
Since our establishment in 1983, the mission of the Aga Khan
University has remained unchanged – we accelerate opportunities for future
generations through the development of human capacity, dissemination of
knowledge, and application of service.
Our realization of this mission has led to the development
of campuses in Kenya, Tanzania, and Uganda where the University provides both
undergraduate and graduate courses that positively affect millions of people
through pioneering research that is guided by academic excellence, and that is
relevant to the context of our students.
The Aga Khan University East Africa Institute's mission is
to provide a coherent and impartial evidence-based platform for policy
formulation, decision-making and action to address the challenges and harness
the opportunities for adaptive and sustainable social and economic development
while ensuring a resilient environmental resource base.
Goals/Objectives
The EAI promotes a culture of evidence-based approaches to
the design and formulation of policy. It provides a platform for
interdisciplinary and integrated policy-oriented research that is both relevant
to AKU academic programs and the East African Community
WHY STUDY AT AGA KHAN UNIVERSITY
The Aga Khan University courses are designed to produce
nurses and midwives dedicated to transforming health and improving lives. We
strive to ensure our programs are of high quality, are accessible, are
relevant, and have an impact.
Over the past decade, we have refined the content of our
courses to respond to evolving health trends and incorporate new diagnostic
approaches. Our work-study upgrading courses are specifically designed to
accommodate the realities of health care workers.
Deeply grounded in leadership development, ethical practice,
critical thinking, current evidence, and compassionate care, our curricula
reflect changing standards in nursing and midwifery practice while remaining
culturally and contextually attuned to the realities of East Africa.
We provide our students with an opportunity to move
ahead in their careers, no matter where they begin. Almost 30 percent of
our worldwide student body is enrolled in programs in East Africa, and the
number is growing.
With over 30 years of experience providing international quality education, we
offer students a practical, intimate learning experience. We inspire our
students to become resilient leaders and forces for positive change in their
communities.
