• A unit dedicated to the education of software developers:
Information Systems Academy (ISA). It started in 2014.
The objective of education in our university is the wellrounded formation of the human person. This is why
every first degree programme includes several courses in
the humanities. We also seek, by deliberate design of the
programmes, to inculcate and groom the entrepreneurial
spirit in our students and participants.
The University aims at nurturing individuals who are
professionally competent, creative and enterprising, zealous
for the common good and able to make free and morally
upright decisions and who thus act as positive agents of
change in service to society.
The founders of Pan-Atlantic University were inspired in
beginning this educational project by the teachings of the
founder of Opus Dei, an institution of the Catholic Church.
Furthermore, the Prelature of Opus Dei provides the spiritual
and pastoral means necessary in order that the University
may maintain and develop its Christian identity. The Prelature
of Opus Dei helps to ensure that all teaching, publishing and
research activities in PAU are inspired by the Christian view of
the person, the world and society.
Schools And Other Units
SCHOOL OF BUSINESS ADMINISTRATION (SBA)
The School of Business Administration currently runs
first degree programmes in Business Administration
and Accounting and a doctoral degree programme in
management.
Annual Report 2014/15
4,683
Within the School of Business Administration, the Lagos
Business School offers several MBA programmes and also
provides experienced professional managers with high
quality general management education relevant to the
Nigerian business environment.
LBS offers a wide spectrum of open-enrolment seminars
on essential issues in business for business leaders and
managers. Customised in-company seminars are also
arranged for companies who need to train large groups of
staff in a particular area. LBS programmes attract over 3,000
participants yearly.
Executive education at LBS has a strong practical orientation,
drawing from the experience of faculty and participants. The
system of teaching privileges the case-study method and
group-work approaches to learning.
LBS places a premium on maintaining a close relationship
with the corporate clientele it serves. Constant interaction
with participating organisations, a committed corporate
support group of 70 companies, plus the counsel and
support rendered by the School’s distinguished Advisory
Board, play major roles in securing this linkage.
SCHOOL OF MEDIA AND COMMUNICATION (SMC)
The School of Media and Communication was instituted by
Pan-Atlantic University in recognition of the critical role of
the media and entertainment industries in shaping societal
values and cultural life. No less important is the growing
contribution of the creative industries to the Nigerian
economy.
B
PAN-ATLANTIC UNIVERSITY

THE UNIVERSITY
FROM THE VICE-CHANCELLOR
In reporting on the activities of PAU during the last academic
session, perhaps the main thing to say is that in spite of
multiple problems and obstacles we have successfully
concluded the first year in our new B.Sc. programmes
in Mass Communication, Business Administration and
Accounting. We have made a conscious decision that
our first priority during the early years of our life as a full
university will be to deliver first class education; with all
due humility I can say that we are on course in making
this a reality. I have tried to speak regularly with groups of
students to get feedback from them on their experiences in
the University and the message I have heard most often is
that they are very pleased with the quality of the teaching
they are receiving: small classes, lecturers who go out of
their way to make themselves understood and accessibility
by all members of staff.
I would like to thank especially the students and parents
who had enough faith in Pan-Atlantic University last year to
make us their choice even though at the time there was very
little to see in our new campus. That they do not regret that
choice is perhaps better proved by the fact that—no doubt
due to what they have said to their friends—this year there
is a significant increase in the number of applications.
a strong online component. The Lagos Business School
offers a Modular Executive MBA programme in which 30%
of the interaction takes place online. Dr. Yinka David-West
and Dr. Obinna Muogboh, both of them lecturers in the
Lagos Business School, have developed a MOOC on Project
Management for the African Management Initiative which
is currently being taken by students all over the African
continent. In all of these programmes the main objective is
to get participants to interact online regularly with faculty
and among themselves.
Our experience is that the two key factors in attaining these
objectives is to deploy the right software and get faculty
to adapt their teaching style to the demands of this new
medium. None of these two things are easy to achieve,
but I am happy to report that after a good deal of trial
and error, we feel we are now on the right track and soon
will move to deploy more systematically our newly gained
capabilities in all our existing programmes. I am certain
that all of this will constitute a strong source of competitive
advantage for Pan-Atlantic University in the near future.
Another major development in the University during recent
times relates to our use of new educational technologies.
Many of you will have heard of MOOCS (Massive Open
Online Courses) as they have been widely discussed in
recent years—and often presented as the wave of the
future and a sure panacea for all manner of problems. By
now calmer assessments of their potentialities have come
to prevail, but there is no doubt that MOOCS embody
the most exciting development in education technology
in recent times. In PAU we want to be proactive in taking
advantages of the possibilities of the new online means
of instruction, while remaining determined to stress those
factors that make PAU special such as first class physical
facilities and close personal interactions and group
learning. The practical outcome of these considerations
is that we are betting on blended learning approaches
that use online instruction as a complement rather than a
substitute for face to face interaction.
We have taken several significant steps to develop the
capability to deliver instruction online. The Enterprise
Development Centre (EDC) has a programme in cooperation with the World Bank for delivering entrepreneurial
education and they have already done three editions
of it. In this four-month programme, 60% of the work is
done online, while the balance is delivered face to face.
EDC has also developed jointly with the Bank of Industry
and the African Management Initiative a Youth Enterprise
Support Programme which aims at training 50,000 young
entrepreneurs over the next five years and which will have

Pan-Atlantic University offers tuition fee aid/scholarships

hours a week per student.

that will prepare them for an increasingly complex business
environment.
With the new structure, applicants will be required to have a
minimum of three years’ post-qualification work experience,

instead of 21 months. Also, participants can now take part
in international exchange programmes for elective courses.
