Master of Business Administration (MBA) - Finance

The programme is an online programme composed of 8 taught modules of 25 credits each, of which five are core modules and three are elective modules relating to a specialist stream, culminating in a research based dissertation of 40 credits.  The modules may be taken continuously on a full-time basis or spread over a longer period on a part-time basis, depending on the circumstances and needs of the student. Each taught module lasts for seven weeks and the material is available online 24 hours per day, seven days per week during that period. The student may opt to supplement the online taught modules during this period with face-to-face tutorials in a blended approach. The research is supervised by a PhD-qualified tutor within a structured format over a period of 14 weeks, resulting in a dissertation that is both internally and externally examined.

During the taught modules students interact virtually with their tutor and fellow class students. The number of students taking anyone module is limited to 30, thus encouraging personalised interaction and sharing of knowledge and experiences among students from a diverse background.

The module material and e-library access is available 24 hours a day and 7 days a week for the duration of the modules and for the entire period of the dissertation, through a purpose-designed Virtual Learning Environment (VLE). Through the VLE, in addition to their module material, students are able to gain instant access to thousands of the latest versions of text-books and journals from Unicaf University’s e-library to support their work. The recommended textbooks and the entire e-library are directly available to the student from their VLE platform at the click of a button. Through the online library help desk, students are able to request for further reading materials that they may need.

Maximise your skills and employability

Develop your skills: Employability depends on 3 factors - Knowledge, Skills, and Attitude. In other words, what you know, how you use that knowledge, and how you approach the task at hand. Our programmes allow our students to develop and further enhance their capabilities and skill set.

Improve your chances: A Master’s degree will shape you into a highly sought-after and favourable candidate for a job interview. Furthermore, you’ll be at an advantage for positions with a higher salary and greater growth potential.

Contribution to knowledge: A Doctoral programme is a self-directed academic research study, supported by a team of supervisors that will assist you in submitting an original contribution to knowledge. Your work and findings will then be compiled into a publishable dissertation.
