The Executive MBA program has already helped me grow in just the first term. I can see myself applying these skills at work and grasping the intricacies of using data to drive the education sector on the continent. What sets the Executive MBA apart is its African perspective. It equips me with the skills to think globally and act locally within the African context. Additionally, it provides an invaluable network. Bonding with peers from various industries across the continent allows us to form relationships, share ideas, and collaborate better.
The Executive MBA program has given me an opportunity to enhance my leadership and business acumen. The program challenges misconceptions and deepens understanding of African cities, with the ‘Doing Business in Africa’ course offering impactful insights into the continent’s past, present, and future. Its African-centric focus, paired with CEO networking and visits to top companies during the in-person intensives, sets it apart.
During my first week of intensives, I liked how things were organized, the classes were having, and the content was amazing and motivating. The main objective is to shape young Africans into good leaders of Africa, and I am happy to be a part of it.
The School of Business hosts regular webinars for admissions and industry dialogues with our students and alumni. You can join us for our next webinar.
