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),c⬠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.
