Student Services
The Academic and Student Services Department works in partnership with other ADU departments and external stakeholders to develop and deliver student-centered services across the student lifecycle. Focussing on the student as our key customer, the department's core strategy is to remove barriers to learning and enhance the student experience.
Alumni & Career Services
Alumni and Career Services are planned for helping students and alumni in developing, evaluating, and/or implementing employment plans by offering professional skills training and workshops, job search skills, career advising and guidance, liaison meetings and discussions with employers.
1. Internship offers students an organized and supervised career-related professional experience. Academic credits are awarded for the learning acquired through their work experience, depending upon their performance evaluation. Internships are administered using well-planned syllabi and work plans during the period of training, which are supervised by site-supervisors and college-supervisors.
2. The Job Placement Services Department offers postings for part-time and permanent positions on the ADU website, and publishes job placement bulletins as well as job search information. An annual career and recruitment fair is organized and support for newly employed graduates for the first three months after graduation is offered.
