AKU alumni have had their say: over 3,500 spanning all the University’s academic programmes and campuses responded to a survey sent out by the Alumni Affairs Office.
Key findings from the survey have been captured in a
report available to all alumni on the web. It represents the most comprehensive effort to date to understand our alumni’s experience at AKU, their continued involvement with the university as well as their achievements.
What we found is:
Over three-quarter, 86 per cent of those who responded, rated their programme as being very good or excellent.
The majority of alumni in the survey viewed their time at the University as being fulfilling and professionally rewarding with 85 per cent saying that their degrees were relevant to their career goals.
Alumni also reported that their qualifications enabled them to make an impact. Nearly half, 48 per cent, reported holding leadership positions such as CEO, chief of nursing, head teacher or executive director; while a third of all respondents have received awards for their contribution to their respective fields.
Over half of all alumni asserted that they honed their leadership and communication skills during their studies.
“AKU equipped me with [the] excellent knowledge, confidence and patience that enabled me to see that I can work anywhere, from rural, urban and international institutions,” a graduate of the 2014 master’s programme at the Institute of Educational Development said.
One of our nursing alumni from the class of 2010 added “I feel that being an AKU graduate is the most valuable thing that I have done (twice).”
Alumni based in 49 countries around the world took part in the survey.
