ALU Postgraduate Programme

African Leadership University, Rwanda

The MBA Programme is the first truly pan-African MBA programme. Delivered in collaboration with Harvard Business School’s HBx programme, and leveraging content from Wharton Business School, The Drucker Institute and McKinsey Academy, provides rising business professionals, public sector leaders and entrepreneurs working in Africa, with the pan-African network, business expertise and leadership skills they need to take their performance and organisational impact to the next level. The programme is 20 months in length and is tailored for the busy, rising executive. Participants work and study concurrently, and travel for week-long, in-person sessions with their peers from across Africa 3-4 times a year. They also complete a Capstone Project within their organization to ensure they see immediate impact and return on investment.
