A
letter from
Vice Chancellor |
“Dear Prospective Doctors, Masters and Graduates,
I open my welcoming remarks to you by quoting a little Success EQ parable:
“Two men started working for a company at the same time. They were very much alike. They had equivalent qualifications and each man was filled with ambitious dreams for his future. Over time they married and each had two children. They both stayed with the company. However, there was a small difference, one of the men was manager for a small department and the other was the managing director.”

| No Examinations |
At APEC you will sit no exams. Your written papers determine your grades. Simply, the reason for this is because it is your research, and writing, not your retentive ability to sit exams, that determines your success in business.
APEC University gives you an efficient and interesting learning, studying and writing method on topics that relate to your goals.

| Why No Examinations |
Dr. Russell Ackoff said about exams: -
"Most examinations are an abomination …they’re not modelled on how people are evaluated in the real world. People are evaluated by what they can do with what they know. And second, tests are taken in isolation, whereas in the real world if I ask you to solve a problem to which you don't know the solution, I expect you to get all the damn help you can find. It's your ability to use resources that is important in the real world, not what you can remember to spit back on a test.”

Publishing
Professor Poynter is a recognised expert on writing, publishing, and marketing non-fiction books. Having written more then 30 books over the past 25 years his bestseller, The Self-Publishing Manual: “How to Write, Print and Sell Your Own Book”, is recommended for APEC students interested in writing a book.
Professor Poynter: -
"Imagine being a published author. Picture people coming up to you at a meeting with a copy of your book and requesting an autograph. Visualize passing a bookstore and seeing your book in the window. Consider being interviewed for an article. Imagine the fame that comes with being published.
A book provides you with more credibility than anything else you can do. The fact is authors are highly valued in our society. People think if you wrote a book, you know something. And you probably do. When you think about it, you are writing your book from the very best research plus personal experience. You research every book and article, distil them down to the essentials, direct your writing toward a specific audience and illustrate it with your personal experiences. You are earning an advanced degree in the subject. Your book validates your expertise and lends more credibility to what you say.
There are many justifications for writing a non-fiction book. Some are fame, fortune, to help other people and because you have a personal mission. Can you imagine doing what you love and loving what you do?”

Academic Freedom
Wharton Professor Emeritus Dr. Russell Ackoff says on how traditional business schools keep from changing: -
"Today, 6 years after they're hired, they get tenure or they're out. So now a 31-year-old gets tenure and has 40 years or more of commitment from the university. Many of these people get secure and retire intellectually at middle age; they stop thinking. So to answer your question, we must get rid of subsidy and tenure if we're going to get these institutions to change and improve the learning process.
…I challenged the chapter to a test. I said let's hire a research firm acceptable to both of us to investigate the following question: Does tenure protect incompetence more than academic freedom? If it turns out it protects academic freedom more than incompetence, I'll pay for the research. If it turns out the other way, you'll pay for it. Well, they wouldn't take me up on it."
Dr. Ackoff at the Wharton Business School had a program at the university in which there was no curriculum, no classes, no examinations, no admission requirements—only exit requirements—in which the students designed their own education, not only the content but the process of it, and by the criteria that the university employed. It was the most successful department at Wharton because it had the largest number of doctoral candidates, the largest number of job offers for graduates at high salaries. (Source: Techno).
Professor Ackoff speaks to the issue of how to improve business education: -
"I think it's fine as long as it focuses on learning instead of teaching, because there is the implicit assumption in most educational institutions that learning is the converse of teaching, that an ounce of teaching produces an ounce of learning. The fact is that teaching is the major obstruction of learning. Most of what you're taught you never use and is irrelevant, and what you do use you've learned on the job, usually in an apprenticeship relationship. So the whole concept of education as being taught is wrong. Kids learn in school and some adults learn in university not because of the school or university, but in spite of it. People learn from others by following their curiosity, but they learn very little from courses. Certainly very little that is useful.
.....When considering how to improve learning, get rid of curriculum, get rid of courses, get rid of examinations, get rid of accreditation, get rid of degrees--and what would education look like? Compare the potential of this with what we currently have, from the point of view of stimulating effective learning. Until you do this, you'll never have transformation. That's the difference between transformation and reformation. Reformation is keeping the current system and modifying its behaviour, with modest change. But given the potential we are not now realizing, I would argue for creative transformation that focuses more effectively on learning."
Freedom of Choice
At APEC University you choose your speciality in one or more of over 190+ majors to complete your Associate's, Bachelor's, MBA, Master's, Ph.D., DBA, or other Doctorate degree program by specialising in one or more of 190+ areas in Business, Leadership, Management, Education, Philosophy, Journalism, English, History, Information Technology or in almost any other area you can imagine. Irrespective, of your academic achievements, or English level, if you are now ready to excel, if you are a doctor, mature age, accountant, undergraduate, a lawyer, a consultant or an engineer, or just looking to graduate in the field of your choosing, you can complete your course and meet your needs.
First Language NOT English
Irrespective of whether your first language is English your course work will help you to improve your writing ability as you work on each of your Bachelor, MBA, Master's, Doctoral and Bachelor's course papers. As you complete the course process of writing your papers you will become aware that you are gaining new attitudes or mindsets. Thus you will become more confident in your ability to market and promote yourself in English.

At APEC we know that you never stop learning, and continue to learn throughout life. You are responsible for your learning by deciding for yourself what you learn and when you learn with the support of APEC.
Your creativity can be stellar when you are prepared to take risks by breaking with an accepted theory as being the standard. When we stop challenging accepted theory and have grown comfortable we have stopped searching, because the comfort level is sufficient to inhibit seeing, and seeking, an alternative. Personal and professional growth comes when as risk-takers we challenge the accepted norm by being confident in our ability sufficient to be open to all consequences.
APEC University empowers
