Dev Varyani
Founder, Academic City University
Academic City came about as a thanksgiving for my 30 years of entrepreneurship success in Africa.
"Education is the most powerful weapon which you can use to change the world."
The vision I have is to provide high quality education driven by innovation, impact, engagement and to being in the top 100 of the leading young, new universities in the world. I wanted to provide a USA/UK quality of education in W Africa, especially to those parents & children who could not afford the costs of going overseas.
Ultimately, this new university will inspire, motivate, and empower students to become excellent engineers, entrepreneurs and leaders. I also envisioned the campus to become a breeding ground for exceptional teaching faculties.
We have succeeded in putting in place great infrastructure & an excellent Executive/ Faculty team. We incorporate best practices, methodologies, innovative curriculum and unique teaching methods and a team-based approach to ensure we achieve our aim.
Involving industry leaders & academia in providing experiential learning that combines theory & practice for future ready leaders. I am thankful to all involved in helping us on working to realise these strategic objectives and excited with the momentum we are creating to address our goals.
