Our Philosophy

Africa International University Philosophy

Motivated by our Vision, Mission, Core Values, and by the conviction that learning is both rooted in and esponsive to the culture and context, we seek to participate in God’s mission in the world by bringing a Christ-centred worldview to bear on teaching and learning, knowledge, research and its relevance to both the mission of God and the needs of Africa. All students will take a common core of integrative courses that teach Christian faith, evangelical worldview, knowing and understanding the Bible, moral and leadership issues, and understanding the value of research. Such a core is vital for engaging all branches of knowledge in a way that is biblical and missional. Critical to this pursuit, then, is a core of university teaching staff that strives
to integrate the evangelical faith with their disciplines”.

This philosophy serves as the University’s philosophy statement. Each constituent entity is to develop its own curriculum philosophy, which would be related to the University philosophy and relevant to the entity’s distinctive purpose. Existing entities will retain their curriculum philosophy.
