The occasion marked the commencement of the summer semester for the 2009 academic year.
The Country Director of the university, Prof. Martin Dzambrah, said the school, which was established in Ghana in October, was also associated with universities all over the world.
Prof. Dzambra noted that UAM was committed to its responsibilities of striving for international excellence.
The Country Director noted that UAM was the centre for business competencies, which created and distributed knowledge with practical academic disciplines.
Prof. Dzambrah said UAM was one of the few universities in the country that ran distance learning programmes for its students.

An architect, Mr Felix Abbey, who was also the guest speaker for the occasion, advised the students to live above reproach and be good examples of the good moral training that the university inculcated in them.
“Look up to the ultimate for excellence, always strive hard towards your education so as to raise the standard of learning in the country,” he advised.
An MBA student, Mr Gordon Akotey, said the practical teaching methods gave them the knowledge that they would required at their various workplaces.
