About AUD

Philosophy

AUD is guided by the vision of bridging Equality and Social Justice with Excellence. The University considers it as its mission to create sustainable and effective linkages between access and success in higher education.

AUD is committed to creating an institutional culture characterized by non-hierarchical and collegial functioning, team work and nurturance of creativity.

AUD’s teaching and research programmes will focus on generating knowledge and building capacities for public systems and institutions to function as instruments of social transformation and development, and to prepare professionals at the interface of Civil Society and the State.
