Studying medicine at UYI is quite challenging due to the lack of necessities needed for practice. Medicine requires you to constantly practice what you learn theoretically but this aspect here is a bit compromised. All the same, they have amazing teachers, one of the best in Africa, and a magnificent environment conducive to studies. I would recommend a hard-working student to enrol here but if not hardworking I don't recommend UY1 for you

I can say I am completely different from before and after AAU. At some point I wondered but now without even noticing I can see my knowledge has improved a lot. I say seamless because it is not the traditional type of learning, you learn through hands on projects, in class discussions, real world scenarios, interactive sessions and becomes part of your day to day life and interests. I 100% Recommend AAU to anyone who wants to experience a life-long a real international community and learn in the process while having the time of your life in Europe!
I did my BBus through Open Polytech (2007-2013) and was really happy, recommended them. However, in the last couple of years I had to do the Level 5 Certificate in Financial Services (Residential Property) and am now doing the Level 4 Certificate in Accounting, and wow has the standard gone downhill. There were so many errors in the Level 5 Certificate, they had not updated it with very important changes in the laws (of which I rolled out changes in my organisation, so I knew more than the tutor did!). Now I am doing a Level 4 Certificate and the standard of the information is poor, forms that don't work and vaguely worded questions that the 'tutor' refused to clarify. At least I didn't pay for it but the taxpayers (of which I am one) are still paying for it! Such a shame to see my alma mater go backwards like that.
