we value our students
Helping our students succeed is at the core of our priorities
At the Industrial University of Africa, we strongly believe that higher education should play a key role in building a modern industrial economy in Africa. With a strong manufacturing base, a country is capable of eliminating poverty and increase political stability.
The Industrial University of Africa was created with the crucial idea in mind of making university education more universal. Our programs give students access to advanced courses that are not readily available in certain African countries.
