LoadingLoadingLoadingLoadingCivil oversight, DDR paperwork, and access—not a military commission.
Online only
Civil-military administration fails when civilians cannot read a checkpoint SOP, a DDR list is a patronage roll, and a protection meeting produces minutes nobody can fund. This MA starts with those files. You will map an oversight process, write a civilian access note, and interrogate a security-budget line—without this university claiming a military rank. African Future University is explicit: this is not staff college. Digital tools are incident logs and identity-checked study, not command-and-control systems. AU and UN missions appear only as public texts and coordination problems, never as employers or logo partners. The award is academic. It is not a commission, not a police gazette, and not a peacekeeper contract. It is for civilians who must keep an oversight file honest when the radio net is someone else’s. You will compare a parliamentary committee file with a local-government access note from a displacement site. Identity-checked exams test administrative writing, not staff-college tactics. No military commission is awarded at all. Study is tuition-free online aside from the examination fee, and displacement-site files are required rather than optional colour in every capstone.
Thirty-six credits: civil oversight, administrative peacebuilding files, security-sector money, and a civilian capstone. Identity-checked exams. No military training is provided.

Modules are assessed through a published mix of coursework, applied projects, and examinations. Exam windows are announced in advance so students in other time zones are not forced into overnight sittings. Alternative arrangements are available where documented.
The published duration is 18 months. Teaching language: English + French assessment options. Actual time-to-complete depends on mode and any recognised prior learning.
This is a fully online award. You study from your country. No student visa and no campus relocation are required.
Degree tuition for this award is published as £0 / tuition-free on the online pathway. Examination or administrative fees may apply at checkout — never an annual tuition invoice. Check the Fees page for any extras.
Requirements are grouped on this page (academic, English, documents). Equivalent qualifications are considered. English may be waived after prior English-medium study.
Assessment is typically a mix of coursework, projects, and examinations. Doctoral awards include a thesis or dissertation and an oral examination. Details sit in the programme specification and module outlines.
Recognition of the award for local employment, professional licence, or ministry attestation is decided by your employer or regulator. African Future University publishes verification pages for certificates. We do not claim automatic equivalence in every country.
