Does not require online presence at specific times and dates

Life is busy, meetings shift, and opportunities don’t always land neatly in a calendar. This programme does not require online presence at specific times and dates. You set your pace each week, choosing when to watch lectures, read, and participate in discussions.

That means fewer trade-offs and more freedom. Manage demands at work or home without missing a lecture, then catch up early in the morning, over lunch, or late at night—whatever works for you.

Can be studied from anywhere in the world, even while on the move

Where you are should never limit who you become. Study from anywhere—the office, a cafe in Osu, a client site in Tema, or while traveling. Our mobile app supports your lifestyle, enabling you to download study materials and watch lectures offline even when connectivity is intermittent.

This always-on access empowers genuine continuity. Keep learning during commutes, between meetings, or during travel, and turn small pockets of time into consistent progress toward your qualification.

Use open books assessments instead of classical question/answer exams

Business leadership demands judgement, not memorisation. Our open books assessments reflect the real world: you will be encouraged to think critically, synthesise sources, and apply concepts to practical scenarios rather than recite facts under exam pressure.

This approach strengthens how you analyse data, structure arguments, and communicate decisions—essential skills for managers and entrepreneurs, and the ones that truly advance careers.

Faculty with degrees from world-renowned universities

Learn from an international faculty who have studied at institutions such as Oxford, Harvard, EPFL, the University of Basel, and Washington University in St. Louis. They blend academic rigour with industry insight, guiding you through contemporary frameworks and lived experience.

Beyond lecturing, your tutors become sounding boards for your ideas. Expect constructive feedback, thoughtful challenges, and mentorship that accelerates your development as a decision-maker.

Join a global classroom. You will collaborate with professionals from more than 130 countries, enriching your perspective with cross-cultural viewpoints and sector-specific insights. Group work, discussions, and peer feedback become a source of real-world learning you cannot get from textbooks alone.

Our alumni are already contributing worldwide, including at international organisations like United Nations, Google, ICRC, The World Bank, Microsoft, Intel, Samsung, Tencent, Siemens, Sony.

Flexible payments in up to 18 monthly interest-free instalments

Invest in your future with predictable planning. Our tuition fees can be paid in up to 18 monthly interest-free instalments, allowing you to balance learning with your financial commitments.
