Welcome to the website of Africa International University and thank you for visiting.

Located in Karen - a Nairobi suburb, within a serene environment conducive for learning, AIU is a Christian university committed to God’s mission and connected to His world. Our strategic location, academic environment, facilities and capable staff combine to make AIU an excellent place to study and grow.

As a Christian university, we seek to be a learning community that practices loving God and neighbour with heart and mind. This means that AIU education is “education for lovers.” We encourage staff and students to cultivate both the desires of the heart and the life of the mind. Our education perspective embraces disciplined, rigorous critical thinking and allows for nurturing relationships, creativity, innovation, and for fun and laughter.

An AIU education is also education with passion. So we are committed to offer education with a passion for God, God’s word and God’s world, passion for truth, integrity, service, and passion for excellence, justice, beauty, life, and creation. Education with passion seeks to have students explore their God-given abilities and inspires their personal growth and development.

As a chartered university, AIU education guarantees a recognized diploma/degree. AIU education is more than paper credentials. It is the education that provides graduates with skills and competencies for the marketplace. AIU education is more than workplace readiness. We are convinced that quality higher education is a life-forming experience. So our goal is to offer, through the formal and non-formal curricula, quality educational experiences that form the whole person; head, heart, and mind. We are committed to providing rich educational experiences that enable our students to flourish as well-rounded persons.

We invite you to join us in exploring love for God and love for others, with heart and mind. In anticipation that you will become a member of the AIU family, I take this opportunity to welcome you to a challenging and fruitful education experience.
