LoadingLoadingLoadingLoadingMSc Public Health & Health Systems Management — one admission, a shared core, two named specialisations.
Online only
A double-path master's for district and programme health staff. Shared core in epidemiology and health systems, then pathways in Public Health (disease programmes, surveillance, promotion) and Health Systems Management (financing, supply chain, workforce), ending with a district-level capstone. Non-clinical. African Future University delivers this award fully online across African time zones. There is no campus. Assessment is identity-checked and the academic standard is the same for every student. This is an academic Master's award; where a field has a licensing or registration route, that remains a matter for your professional body or regulator. You will work through the material as a practitioner-researcher: applied methods, real or anonymised cases, and a supervised capstone or dissertation as the final component. Faculty mark whether you noticed the constraints a slide deck usually hides.
The programme carries 42 credits across four assessed modules. Delivery is tuition-free aside from the examination fee. Transcripts use letter grades and a GPA scale consistent with African Future University awards. No professional-body logo is used in marketing to imply endorsement.
