Experience at AIU
I could
divide my experience at AIU in three big areas as follow:
Academic: I heard AIU from a friend of mine, speaking
about his degree, the university capability, commitment etc. that impressed me
even thought I was not comfortable enough to start my online degree. Then I decided
to contact and search more info about the AIU its methodology and philosophy as
well as the accreditation.
After times
of contact then I decided to enrol for Master
of Finance. at the beginning, it was a little bit strange and tough to
adapt the online studying and methodology as I was more familiar with camp
study, the traditional one, but I found a big surprize that is the way AIU is
organized and full covered of academic material (a big library) to support all
student. That’s was amazing cause I found all I needed to get my dreams become
true in a settled time – “Finance degree”.
The way
that the program is designed gave me opportunity to develop not only my
academic skills in research and study alone as well as empower the professional
acknowledge in field of science.
Interactions: the library with more than 10 thousand books,
is open 24/7 all days, with several different types of learning areas,
group study, group study rooms that you can join other colleagues is so useful.
I have used some of these areas for different types of work and they have been helpful
for me.
Beside that the constant remind and communication via emails
and telephone help the student keep focused in and get the right support on
time when needed. Even though the last (conference calls) was so often that I
thought I guess it because of cost of expense incurred in a call but we need to
improve in this item perhaps schedule a regular calls or conference by week or
twice a month so that student can feel that AIU still interest in help us
achieve our academic commitment.
Social and Personal life change: it is not only a case of an
academic upgrade but it’s goes far away from what I expected. It is really a
life change as feel more confident and realized person now excite to get the
diploma and make a personal goal achieved successfully.
I’m aware
that it can bring a better opportunity as professional but the most important
is the chance to grow as a person. I was look for a University that could meet
my own goals and AIU was that one.
THANKS AIU
for make it happen.
