Boardroom strategy for experienced directors and founders
Online only
The African Future University Executive MBA is designed for leaders who already run functions, business units or ventures and need a rigorous peer environment to expand enterprise leadership capacity. Cohorts are deliberately small and senior: you will debate capital allocation with PE-backed CEOs, redesign operating models with hospital and NGO directors, and stress-test strategy against geopolitical and technological disruption. Faculty combine research excellence with C-suite and board experience across finance, technology, healthcare and public service. The programme rewards applied judgment — case clinics, board simulations and a 6-credit enterprise transformation capstone anchored in your own organisation or a partner firm.
The 48-credit EMBA mirrors the academic standards of leading global executive programmes: analytical foundations, enterprise value creation, strategy and governance, and integrative executive practice. Live residential intensives in Edinburgh are optional twice yearly; online seminars run in executive-friendly evening slots worldwide. Graduates receive a African Future University EMBA transcript with letter grades, credit hours and cumulative GPA on a 4.0 scale.
Faculty spotlight
Professor Helena MacLeod, former FTSE CFO, leads board finance modules; Dr. Amara Okafor supervises global strategy clinics with African and European multinationals.
