Build your next chapter without leaving Lubumbashi. The MBA Finance and Sustainability, offered online in an exclusive partnership between the University of Cumbria and Robert Kennedy College, brings together financial thinking and sustainability in a programme you can study alongside your existing commitments. Its ideas can be applied across industries and international markets.

Earn a British Degree with International Recognition

Graduate with a British degree awarded by the University of Cumbria. For professionals in Lubumbashi whose ambitions extend across borders, it offers a qualification with international recognition.

Whether you hope to progress in your current organisation or pursue opportunities abroad, the degree can help you demonstrate advanced study in finance and sustainability. How an individual qualification is assessed will depend on the employer or institution, but its British origin provides a clear academic credential.

Study 100% Online—in as Little as One Year

You can complete the programme entirely online, with no need to relocate or put your life in Lubumbashi on hold. The flexible format lets you work towards your degree while continuing to meet professional and personal responsibilities.

It is possible to complete the programme in as little as one year. That pace can make postgraduate study especially appealing if you are ready to put new knowledge to use sooner.

Learn Without Fixed Online Attendance Times

Your schedule does not have to revolve around being online at a particular time or on a particular date. Access your studies when it suits you, whether that is before work, after a busy day or during a quiet weekend.

This flexibility can be valuable when work demands change or you collaborate across time zones. You can give your studies focused attention without having to arrange every week around live attendance.

Keep Studying Wherever You Go

Although you can study from Lubumbashi, your learning is not tied to one place. The online format lets you continue while travelling for work, visiting family or moving between locations.

Through the mobile app, you can download study materials and watch lectures offline. That means time spent on the move can become useful study time, even when an internet connection is unavailable.

Apply Your Thinking Through Open-Book Assessments

Rather than relying on classical question-and-answer exams, the programme uses open-book assessments. This approach invites you to draw on available resources as you develop and communicate your ideas.

For a subject connecting finance and sustainability, the ability to analyse information and build a reasoned response matters. Open-book assessment gives you an opportunity to practise that kind of considered thinking.

Learn from Faculty with Distinguished Academic Backgrounds

The programme’s tutors and faculty include graduates of world-renowned universities such as Oxford, Harvard, EPFL, the University of Basel and Washington University in St. Louis. They bring a range of academic experiences to the learning environment.

Engaging with different perspectives can help you examine familiar financial questions in new ways. As you develop your own approach to leadership and sustainability, guidance from experienced educators can make your studies more rewarding.

Join an International Learning Community

Study alongside a diverse student base drawn from more than 130 countries. Conversations with people working in different markets and industries can broaden how you think about financial decisions and sustainability challenges.

Alumni work for international organisations including The World Bank, Goldman Sachs, Citigroup, Deutsche Bank, Crédit Agricole, Visa, American Express, Mastercard, JPMorgan Chase, UniCredit, the United Nations, Google, the ICRC, Microsoft, Intel, Samsung, Tencent, Siemens and Sony. Their varied career paths reflect the global reach of the wider alumni community.

Plan Your Payments with Interest-Free Instalments

Investing in postgraduate study is an important decision. The programme’s fees can be paid in up to 18 monthly interest-free instalments, giving you a way to spread the cost over time.

That payment schedule can make it easier to plan alongside your other commitments while you pursue a degree. You can focus on the opportunity ahead with a clearer view of how payments fit into your budget.

Put Your Learning to Work in Lubumbashi

Lubumbashi is closely connected to the Democratic Republic of the Congo’s copper and cobalt industries. Graduates working in mining or related services can apply financial and sustainability frameworks to questions such as long-term investment, resource use, environmental risk and responsible operations. The programme’s international perspective can also support conversations with partners across global mineral supply chains.

Mining activity creates demand for logistics, transport, equipment and other supporting businesses. If your career is in one of these sectors, stronger financial analysis can help you evaluate projects and manage uncertainty, while sustainability thinking can inform decisions about efficiency and lasting value. Those skills can be useful whether you work for an established company or are building an enterprise of your own.

As businesses in and around Lubumbashi consider infrastructure, energy needs and cross-border trade, they must weigh financial performance alongside longer-term impacts. The MBA can help you approach such decisions with a broader perspective—one that connects commercial goals with responsible growth, locally and internationally.
