Academic Linkages

The Directorate of Academic Linkages promotes collaboration and partnership with other institutions of higher learning, corporate bodies, and other relevant organizations. It was established in 2004 to coordinate linkages with other institutions of higher learning. This was due to demand that there should be a central office to manage the ever-growing demands of institutes of higher learning that wanted to collaborate with the Catholic University of Eastern Africa. There was also a need to coordinate the existing collaborations.

The University also noted that collaboration with others is a new way of being a university. No university can exist in isolation. When universities collaborate in joint research and other kinds of linkages, they generate synergies that are able to offer better solutions to the world's problems.

The Directorate exists to steer CUEA to be a leading private University in teaching, research, innovation, and community service through strategic partnerships and collaborative engagement with local and global partners.

The mission of the Directorate is to coordinate linkages with other institutions of higher learning. The Directorate of Academic Linkages seeks, supports, and strengthens partnerships with other world-class universities, institutions of higher learning, and corporate organizations to augment its expertise and realize its objectives.
