Our Vision
Africa University aspires to become a world class university for leadership development in Africa.
Our Mission
A private, pan-African, United Methodist-related institution. Main campus is located in Zimbabwe, southern Africa, with satellite campuses in development.
AU is the first private university chartered in Zimbabwe and a world class institution focusing on leadership development in Africa. As an institution that is ‘pan-African by design’, students enroll from throughout the continent without regard for race, ethnicity, social class or political or religious affiliation. Learning and extra curricula activities nurture spiritual growth, ethics and sound moral values, leadership skills, volunteerism and a high level of comfort with diversity
The mission of Africa University is to provide quality education within a Pan-African context through which persons can acquire general and professional knowledge and skills, grow in spiritual maturity, develop sound moral values, ethics and leadership qualities.
Africa University’s History
The development of Africa University is a consequence of the growth of United Methodism in Africa. The growth in membership and the emerging socio-economic and political needs in their countries led the African Bishops of the United Methodist Church (UMC) to call on their Church to invest in higher education provision in Africa.
