Dean’s Message

Warm greetings and welcome to the East African University Rwanda!!

As Dean, School of Business and Management Studies, I am extremely proud of our rich tradition of providing transformational business management studies. Besides academic learning, our students organize and participate in various activities throughout the year. All student activities on campus are governed by the Council of Student Affairs, making our University a student-run campus.

EAUR marks the eight anniversary of its establishment in 2015, a year for looking back at our successes and for looking forward to our Vision 2050.

EAUR has always embraced change and forged ahead, be it the global programs prepare students for enhanced career opportunities and research, respectively. Our University has an excellent research ecosystem, outstanding faculty that continues to build on the strengths of our core values, and exceptional students who have a bright future.

The diversity and inclusiveness within the EAUR community have been at the heart of our collegial learning environment.

EAUR is a place where students take ownership and responsibility for themselves and critical aspects of student affairs. Our collaborative program structures wherein faculty members share resources and work together in developing rich curriculum content and innovative instructional activities are unique. Our vibrant and valued partnerships with corporates and industry leaders bring together academia and industry.

EAUR’s placement record is a testimony to the corporate Rwanda’s confidence in our academic rigor and professional outlook. We will continue to focus on academic superiority, with improved placements being a result of our Focus on academic excellence.

The efforts of our competent faculty and staff, brilliant students, and exceptional alumni have guided us to the enviable position we are in today with respect to Rwanda Rankings. Graduates are one of the fundamental building blocks of any institute and at EAUR we have a special relationship with our graduates. Their enthusiastic support in multiple activities, including interactions with prospective students, mentoring of current students, and industry connect is a testimony to the relationship the University created with them while they were students.

With a culture of academic excellence and an inclusive environment for growth, we have set a course for our Vision 2050. I, therefore, invite all the aspiring management and research students to experience a transformational journey of business studies and research here at EAUR
