Professor Dr Hairuddin Harun AeU Vice-President says the university promotes flexible learning.

In the delivery of its courses, AeU employs two modes of learning: The face- to-face/conventional approach combines conventional teaching and learning and online interactions (e-learning mode), while the blended/online approach combines face-to-face interactions, online interactions (e-learning mode) and independent study.

Its programmes and products are focused on affordability, accessibility and marketability. The university offers a wide array of courses ranging from certificates courses to bachelor’s, master’s and doctorates, all designed to market demands and needs.

AeU is a dual-mode university, offering programmes in the open- and distance-learning (ODL) mode as well as the full-time-on-site mode. Students will have the option to migrate from the ODL mode to the full-time mode and vice-versa.
