International Student Resources and Experience
Becoming an International Student in Zambia
African Christian University in Lusaka, Zambia, is a growing hub for Christ‑centred higher education in Africa. ACU is committed to uniting rigorous academics with a biblical worldview, equipping students to serve Christ faithfully in the church, the workplace and society.
We care deeply about excellent academics and our Christian faith. On our welcoming campus in Lusaka, you will study alongside students from across Zambia, Africa, and beyond, all seeking to grow both intellectually and spiritually. ACU offers a range of undergraduate programmes in areas such as agriculture, business, education, theology, and the liberal arts, with each discipline taught from a distinctly Christian perspective. We also offer graduate programmes in theology.
An ACU education is designed to help prepare you for faithful and effective service in today’s world. In many of our programmes, you will learn in close connection with local churches, communities, and workplaces, gaining experience that is relevant to real‑life ministry and professional contexts. Our emphasis on character, leadership, and relational skills aims to equip you to engage culture wisely and winsomely, whether in Zambia, across Africa, or further afield.
We foster a warm, hospitable community where international and local students regularly interact through chapel, discipleship groups, cultural events, and student activities. Through these opportunities, we desire to see you grow both professionally and spiritually, rooted in Scripture and connected to a vibrant community of believers.
At ACU, you are not just a number — you are part of a covenant community that cares for your spiritual, emotional, and academic well‑being. Through local church connections, mentoring, chapel, and fellowship with other believers, we strive to help you grow in maturity in Christ while you pursue your studies.
