As an educational organization that places great emphasis
on its commitment to students at all stages of their
programme, one of AIE's principle concerns is the
need to provide a fully comprehensive and personalized
service. The quality and range of their services are
designed to create an accessible, comfortable environment
that is conducive to effective study and research.
Their
newly renovated and fully equipped facilities include
a conference room, two spacious classrooms, a professor's
office and a student corner comprising of a computer
area, leisure corner and study area.
The
Conference room is ideally suited to small meetings
such as tutorials, seminars and other student or staff
gatherings. Located here is also a professional self-contained
library carrying a vast range of resources and detailed
information on home-based or overseas study. Students
engaged in distance study programmes are also able
to access a wide range of textbooks and reference
materials relevant to their particular programmes.
A
private office is at the disposal of up to four visiting
professors or teachers at a time. Notwithstanding
advanced facilities such as state of the art laptop
computers and connection to broadband for easy access
to the Internet and Email, the office is also an ideal
place to carry out administration work and meet with
students.
To
facilitate the seminars, which consist of one week
of study with a visiting professor from the university,
AIE have installed two sizable classrooms, well equipped
with LCD projectors, overhead projectors, audio-support,
TV, whiteboards and flipcharts. Each of these classrooms
can accommodate up to 60 students when seated and
are perfectly suited to workshops, seminars or lectures.
Like the rest of the facilities, they are air-conditioned
with drinking water provided.
The Student Corner is designed to meet the same high
standards and requirements of facilities at a university
campus and students are strongly encouraged to take
full advantage of its resources and 24-hour service.
Students have unrestricted access during opening hours
to extra computers with links to the Internet and
Email.
