Frequently asked questions

Are online degrees free for international students?

Yes. Online pathways publish £0 tuition — free MBA, free masters, free PhD and free DBA. Exam or administrative charges appear before you submit. Ask admissions about Paystack, Flutterwave or M-Pesa as an enquiry, not a silent checkout.

Is this an Arabic university or a UK campus?

No. African Future University is a pan-African digital university (EN + FR). It is not Arab Leadership University and not University of Brigant.
