KIU, Main Campus câ¬â?? Aminah Abdullahi Abdi is a student at Kampala
International University (KIU). She hails from Somalia and is pursuing a Masters
in Human Rights.
Aminah, who joined the University in 2018, says shecâ¬â?cs
privileged to be among those students pursuing their career at Ugandacâ¬â?cs leading
private University. According to her, the academic documents issued by KIU are some
of the most recognised records in Somalia.
câ¬Å?Once you have academic documents from KIU, you can easily
get a job,c⬠she said. câ¬Å?In Somalia, if you present your academic documents
showing that you graduated from KIU, you are easily given a job.câ¬
Aminah had always heard about KIU, from the websites and her
friends. When the opportunity to do a mastercâ¬â?cs degree presented its self, she
knew that education at KIU was the best step for career moving forward.
Her first experiences were a little intimidating but she was
okay.
câ¬Å?I immediately realised I was not here to play (when I arrived),câ¬
she murmured, câ¬Å?Everyone was busy in books and research. I entered the class and
greeted a colleague of mine who was very busy and he answered back with less
attention. I am glad he eventually became my friend as I understood that he
probably had to meet his stringent deadline.câ¬
She hopes to go back home after her studies and impact
change in the human rights space of Somalia.
