Open book assessments that reward real-world thinking

Instead of classical question/answer exams, the programme uses open book assessments. This approach mirrors the way leaders make decisions in practice — by consulting data, evaluating alternatives, and articulating a reasoned course of action.

You’ll be assessed on your ability to frame problems, use evidence, and propose feasible solutions — the very skills that senior roles demand.

Learn from faculty with world-class academic pedigrees

Our tutors and faculty include graduates of renowned universities such as Oxford, Harvard, EPFL, University of Basel, and Washington University in St. Louis. You’ll benefit from teaching that blends rigorous scholarship with hands-on leadership insight.

Expect high standards, direct feedback, and a learning experience that stretches your thinking while providing practical tools you can apply immediately.

Why this MBA matters for professionals in Somalia

Somalia’s trade and logistics ecosystem — from ports and corridors to import-export operations and private distribution networks — is evolving rapidly. The MBA’s leadership, strategy, and sustainability modules equip you to elevate operational resilience, govern supply chains more responsibly, and strengthen stakeholder trust. Whether you’re involved in shipping, freight forwarding, warehousing, or procurement, you’ll learn to align commercial growth with environmental stewardship and risk-aware governance.

Telecommunications and digital services continue to drive innovation and financial inclusion. With this MBA, you’ll sharpen your ability to lead cross-functional teams, design sustainable growth strategies, and set ethical standards for data use and product rollout. From mobile money to digital platforms, the programme’s focus on responsible leadership helps you create scalable, trusted solutions that put users and communities first.

Energy access, climate resilience, and agribusiness efficiency are vital to long-term prosperity. You’ll explore frameworks to evaluate renewable projects, optimise resource use, and build partnerships that bring clean, reliable energy to businesses and households. At the same time, sustainability thinking can help strengthen food supply chains, reduce waste, and support entrepreneurship — translating leadership insight into tangible, community-level value.
