March and September intakes, reading weeks, and dissertation landmarks in WAT, CAT, and EAT.

Intakes
The 2026 teaching year opens in March and September. Rolling admissions close ten working days before each intake. Late enrolment is not offered as a marketing exception.
- 02
Time zones
Live seminars are scheduled for overlap across West Africa Time, Central Africa Time, and East Africa Time. Asynchronous assessment is the default so Lagos, Johannesburg, and Nairobi can sit the same paper.
- 03
Dissertation landmarks
Proposal, ethics clearance, and viva dates are issued after enrolment. Doctoral candidates must have a named supervisor with published capacity before the proposal is accepted.
