Dear Prospective and Current Students,

On behalf of the University Council, Management, Staff of the Africa

Research University(ARU), and indeed on my behalf, I welcome you all to

this vibrant institution of higher learning.

As many of you are aware, the world has become one global village which

requires us to possess complex knowledge, skills and ideas which are

intended to address many of our challenges we face.

For example, the quest for socio-economic development and higher

quality of life are of particular concern. This is where ARU comes in. The University provides quality

education to meet socio-economic development agenda as well as open opportunities for personal

growth and advancement.

This prospectus is a testimony to this claim. As a case in point, both under and post-graduate

programs are of highest international standards. The University also embraces unique features which

include application of technologies to its teaching delivery systems, and placement of research at the

core of its course offerings.

As Chancellor of ARU, I am privileged to invite you to join or be with us until you complete your

2. FROM THE DESK OF THE VICE CHANCELLOR

It is with great pride that we introduce ARU to you. We realise your

interest may be as an existing student, potential student or just an

interested party.

ARU aims to become one of the most sought-after institutions in

Zambia and on the African continent where people would like to

enhance their knowledge, skills and ability to grow, prosper and excel

as human beings.

I to introduce you to the pillars of our University.

ARU is built on three pillars namely:

Humanity

Excellence

Technology

Humanity is all about people. At ARU we care about our students, our staff and our stakeholders.

When you visit our offices, you will always find a friendly face and someone who is prepared to

provide you with the best possible service, advice and encouragement. ARU is an institution where

our students, lecturers, officials and other visitors feel at home.

We have no doubt that the package that ARU is offering can only be described by one word, namely:

Excellent! We strive to provide the best possible materials, services, academic advice and academic

standards. Our fees, terms and service are of the best you will find in Zambia. We believe not to

invest in expensive buildings for which you our student pays, but rather to invest in providing an

affordable academic package at reasonable rates.

3. Aru Logo

The ARU Logo consist of three sections namely:

• The University Logo

• The Name of the Institution

• The University Motto

University Logo

The University logo has four components, namely:

A rising sun, surrounded by laureate leaves, resting on the wings of an eagle, and lastly all of it

resting on an open book.

The Open Book

ARU promotes a culture of life-long learning, and learning is a continuous process,

which is why the book is open. It symbolises the viewpoint that learning takes place

at all times, and our students are encouraged to learn as they go, never to close the

book on the learning process.

Eagles’ Wings

Above the open book are the wings of a soaring eagle. The eagle is not only the

national bird of Zambia, but an eagle also represents strength, vision and skill.

Those are qualities needed by effective leaders.

The Rising Sun

The rising sun represents the call to get up and work. Hard work is one of the

cornerstones of ARU which we promote amongst our students.

The fact that the rising sun is in green, also represents fertility of one’s efforts.

The Laureate Leaves

The sun is surrounded by laureate leaves in green and gold. Laureate leaves represent

a symbol of victory or status and achievement. Laureate leaves more specifically serve

as the base word for “baccalaureate," indicating academic achievement. In

Christianity it is said to symbolize the resurrection of Christ and the triumph of

humanity.

12.1. Master of Education (Education Management)

This programme was designed for post-graduate students who wishes to pursue, or who are already

pursuing a career in managing educational institutions. Educational institutions include schools,

universities and other post graduate institutions such as vocational centres and career development

centres. This career also prepares individuals to provide leadership, managerial guidance and

strategic guidance to individuals in leadership positions or who are aspiring towards those positions

It is mostly the case that people who find themselves in managerial jobs in educational institutions,

have developed through the ranks of their professions, such as being teachers, departmental heads

and so forth. Therefore many will find themselves in positions where they are not equipped with

managerial skills, instead being very capable professionals. The world of management is vastly

different from the world of a professional, where subject knowledge, and the ability to deal with

learner development are at the forefront.

Being a manager, moves one away a few levels from this activity, and places new and different

pressures on the individual.

In the masters’ degree, ARU assumes that the student has some managerial background, but wishes

to specialise and sharpen the thinking as it relates to the management of educational institutions on

various levels. This degree is therefore primarily based on the objective to broaden managerial

knowledge and sharpen your research ability. At the masters’ degree level, you are required to be

able to complete research, change your manner of thinking, and approach issues differently from

before.

A large portion of the degree focuses on the strategic orientation of senior managers.

The degree has three components:

1. Theory: Six subjects

2. Research Methods and Techniques: Submission of Research Proposal

3. Dissertation
