AGU Education Approach
AGU believes that student should be at the centre of education and all activities should be build around them. We believe that academic development is an integral part of social and personal development. Graduates of AGU will be typified by that ability to learn, to think, to research, to work in an interdisciplinary fashion, and to lead.
In all academic programs, there will be practical elements as well as conscious attempts to connect theoretical knowledge with the real world; in this manner, the university will aim to produce highly employable students. For those students who aspire to a more academic path, there will be significant opportunities to join research groups, even in their early undergraduate years. In this way AGU students will not only be exposed to high-quality teaching but will also benefit from opportunities to take part in research with academics from a range of disciplines to work both in their own field and in an inter-disciplinary fashion, while still undergraduates.
Furthermore, the University places a strong emphasis on its postgraduate programs of research. Through the efforts of its academics experienced in national and international research projects, AGU aims to produce learning and knowledge which is of value to a wide range of stakeholders. It is one of AGU’s primary goals to work with industry particularly local industry to develop high-quality, and effective, projects in industrial R&D.
