Simon Namwandi Indongo, PhD in International Relations

MY EXPERIENCE WITH ATLANTIC INTERNATIONAL UNIVERSITYFirst and foremost, I was very sceptical to study with AIU, due to the fact that my office workload was too much and there was no enough time available for me to study and work at the same time. I decided to register with AIU and devised a work plan for my study especially after work and during the weekends.My experience at AIU turned out to be very memorable, enjoyable, interesting and rewarding. Studying through distance gave me courage and dedication in order to accomplish what I have just attained. It was through hard work and perseverance. The study with AIU taught me to be self-disciplined and self-reliant.I do believe that the key to success was discipline. There really was no substitute for discipline when doing a degree by distance and flexible learning.Studying through AIU offered me an excellent academic relationship with my tutor and academic advisor. I relied heavily on his advises and inspiration. He encouraged me to excel and to submit my assignments. As an advisor, he encouraged me to analyzed works of other writers and be an analytical and critical thinker when it comes to writing the assignment papers.The knowledge I obtained while studying at AIU will definitely help to improve and expand my expertise and enhancing my analytical skills.My sincere thanks go to all the AIU staff and students who participated in helping this programme to become a successful one.Sincerely Yours,Simon Namwandi Indongo
