AFRICAN LEADERSHIP UNIVERSITY

ALU was founded with a mission to develop young leaders into innovative problem solvers. With campuses in Mauritius and Rwanda, ALU awards internationally-accredited degrees via a unique learning model emphasizing leadership fundamentals and project-based learning. From ALU, the first pan-African business school ALUSB was launched in 2016.
