Who We Are ?

Anton Wilhelm Amo International University (AWAIU) is a pioneering online institution redefining higher education through its commitment to accessible, personalized learning aligned with global sustainability goals. Founded in 2010 on the principle that education is a fundamental human right, AWAIU employs innovative andragogic methods where adult learners co-create their curricula while accessing one of the world’s most comprehensive digital libraries (19M+ resources). Our multidimensional approach combines omniology (interconnected knowledge systems) with ethical AI tools to empower professionals across 82 countries to develop solutions addressing UNESCO’s 2030 Sustainable Development Goals. Through our unique Pledge System, every academic project translates into tangible community impact, making AWAIU not just a university but an engine for planetary transformation.


Multidimensional


Multidimensional Andragogic: Principles of student « self instruction », (with guidance), collaborative development of curriculum unique to each student, and flexibility of time and place of study, provides the ideal learning environment.


Fulfill your needs


Our Primary goal at AWA International University is to accommodate adult students by meeting their individual needs. For this reason, our degree programs are flexible and have been designed for professionals to be able to complete part time and at the pace their life permits.


Based on Human Rights


At AWAIU we believe Education is a fundamental Human Right. Programs are based on andragogy, open learning and omniology. This paradigm shift in educational methodology increase access, sustainability and affordability.

AWAIU’s Dream

Bridge for our Students to achieve their dreams

Our Vision

To be a higher learning institution concerned about generating cultural development alternatives likely to be sustained in order to lead to a more efficient administration of the world village and its environment; exerting human and community rights through diversity with the ultimate goal of the satisfaction and evolution of the world.

Our Mission

The empowerment of the individual towards the convergence of the world through a sustainable educational design based on andragogy and omniology.

AWAIU is working on the UN’s sustainable development goals by 2030.

AWAIU focuses on the empowerment of its student towards the convergence of the world’s sustainable development. At AWAIU, we know each student is unique and unrepeatable and capable or improving the world we live in. Thousands of resources are available to our students in order to support their efforts to achieve UN 2030 goals in their communities, countries, and globally. AWAIU has been working to improve our world every day by supporting our students since 2010. 

As a University founded on the ideals that education is a human right it is imperative that we realize that a significant portion of the world population lacks basic necessities to guarantee their human rights. Thus, through the AWAIU Pledge found in MY AWAIU, we ask students to make a commitment/pledge to contribute by finding synergies in what they do personally and professionally that can contribute to achieving the 17 UNESCO 2030 Goals.
