At SOUMA, each student is considered an individual, and the University strives to be aware at all times of the needs of each member of its student body. The faculty of SOUMA believes that professional career education instruction is an art as well as a science. It is a dynamic process that develops both the skill and the intellect of professional career-minded individuals in its society.
Professional career education is an interactive process on which the future of society depends. Graduates become professionals who are critical for future economic growth. SOUMA’s goal is to train professional career-minded individuals by offering an education that produces an employable, skilled, responsible and accountable person. SOUMA students are prepared to provide professional skills necessary to meet the projected needs of society.
Inherent in the goals established for SOUMA is the belief that learning takes place in a variety of ways. For this reason, SOUMA curricula are flexible and incorporate previous knowledge and skills. SOUMA affirms that all members of the academic community share responsibility for establishing, implementing
and evaluating its educational programs. Further, SOUMA believes that members of business and industry must also participate in this process, thus why consultations with the captains of business and industry are made when eve loping new curricula.
Finally, it is the philosophy of SOUMA that no person shall be denied admission to any of its programmes, be excluded from any training, be denied the benefits of training, or be subjected to discrimination in any hiring practice or activity of the University because of race, creed, colour, handicap, national origin, sex, age, political affiliation, sexual orientation, marital status or religious belief. SOUMA is the only private University so far in Malawi that admits visually impaired students.”
