According to the European-American University’s All Africa Coordinator, Dr. Josephine C.Ahamefula Egbuta, “the philosophy of Education that informs EAU is not new; indeed, it is older than that of many more traditional universities. As an institutional philosophy, we conceive the University as a frame of reference for the learning undertaken by the students, rather than a coercive force seeking to control that learning change did not lie in coercive learning. This is why it offers the learner freedom in its place.”

As a sustainable institution strongly committed to the advancement of the human condition, the university delivers it’s programmes through distance education primarily, using – highly flexible academic methods anchored firmly in historical and legal precedent.’
