Dev Varyani
Founder, Academic City University
Academic City came about as a thanksgiving for my 30 years of entrepreneurial 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 and engagement, and to be among the top 100 leading young, new universities in the world. I wanted to provide a USA/UK quality of education in West Africa, especially for those parents and children who could not afford the costs of going overseas. Ultimately, this university will inspire, motivate and empower students to become excellent engineers, entrepreneurs and leaders. I also envisioned the campus becoming a breeding ground for exceptional teaching faculty.
We have succeeded in putting in place great infrastructure and an excellent Executive and Faculty team. We incorporate best practices, methodologies, an innovative curriculum, unique teaching methods and a team-based approach to ensure we achieve our aims. We involve industry leaders and academia in providing experiential learning that combines theory and practice for future-ready leaders.
I am thankful to all those involved in helping us realise these strategic objectives, and excited by the momentum we are creating to address our goals.
