“Several international students from KSA, UAE, Kuwait, Qatar, Bahrain, Oman, Malaysia, Italy, Africa, and USA have been admitted to various academic programs offered by the university for the autumn 2021 semester,” said AIOU Vice Chancellor Dr Zia Ul-Qayyum in a statement.
He added that AIOU was targeting an increase in enrollment of international students to ten thousand within the next three years. AIOU has been able to achieve this milestone because of digitalisation of its key academic, administrative and financial operations, he added.
