U-Multirank's unique 'Sunburst chart' gives an illustration of a university's performance profile across the five U-Multirank dimensions. These are indicated in different colours. For instance, the teaching and learning dimension is symbolised by the colour green. Each 'sunray' represents one of the thirty plus U-Multirank indicators. The longer the ray, the better the performance of an institution on the selected indicator: a full-length ray stands for 'top group' performance, whereas a short ray means 'weak' performance. A missing sunray indicates that the specific data indicator is not available. An institution's performance in an indicator can be identified by moving the cursor over the rays. A key guard for the sunburst chart is provided here .

Our graduate biology program is supported by 10 faculty members carrying out state-of-the art research in several areas including cancer research, cancer therapeutics, cell signaling, microbiology, microbial genomics, human genetics, yeast genetics and neurobiology, among others. More importantly, the diversity of research areas covered in our program is balanced by the presence of two focus areas in which we have a critical mass of researchers, namely: cell and cancer biology and microbiology and genomics.

Our program has 2 areas of research specialization, one in cell biology and cancer research and the other in microbiology and genomics, which represent the two areas in which we have a critical mass of researchers. The research produced by these research areas is published in highly ranked international journals in the field and some of has practical relevance in that it addresses issues of antibiotic resistance in bacteria as well as mechanisms of tumor metastasis and targeted cancer therapeutics. Findings in all these areas could lead to better therapeutics in the future.

The Department of Education at LAU strives for excellence in the preparation of qualified educators committed to evidence-based practices, respect for diversity, and ongoing personal and professional development. As advocated in our courses, and as actually practiced by our faculty, teaching and learning take place through hands-on / minds-on course whereby students construct their knowledge through activities, readings, Periodic reflections, Class simulations. Active learning permeates all courses.

Since the inception of the MA program in Education, Research has been an important component of our programs at large. Students in the MA program conduct a research thesis / project, which is the culmination of their MA courses, under the supervision of a faculty and the cooperation of two other faculty members. Research has also been a requirement at the undergraduate level. Our BA students are initiated to research in their Senior study course in the senior year. Most research projects / theses are conducted in schools and in cooperation with educators for data collection.

The Bachelor of Engineering degree program in Mechanical Engineering is accredited by the Engineering Accreditation Commission of ABET, www.abet.org. The mechanical engineering major prepares students for a variety of careers in the design and construction of mechanical systems. The production, transformation, transmission and control of thermal and mechanical energy constitute one of the main tracks that rely on thermodynamics, fluid mechanics and heat transfer. This track leads to applications in internal combustion engines, steam and gas power plants and HVAC.
