WAUBenin University prides itself on producing well-rounded, creative graduates who are responsible, productive citizens and future leaders.
You’ve probably heard your teachers and older friends or family tell you that university is not like school. That’s because at university, you are expected to make decisions on your own. These range from selecting modules (subject choices) to compiling your personal timetable (if that is applicable to your course), and deciding whether to engage in extra-curricular activities such as sports or joining a student society.
The mission of our University is the creation, dissemination and curation of knowledge. As a world-leading centre of academic excellence we aim to: enhance our position as one of the world’s leading research and teaching universities and to measure our performance against the highest international standards.
WAUBenin operates by a set of values that emphasize: Learner-centered approaches. Professional and servant leadership. Diversity and inclusiveness. Lifelong learning, discovery, and creativity. Collegiality and mutual respect. Integrity and accountability.
