Université de Stellenbosch (Afrique du Sud)
Online only
A comprehensive undergraduate program developing future leaders in smart agriculture supply chains, agricultural commodity trading, and continental food sovereignty. Students earn 2 independent accredited diplomas with a 65% / 35% international credit split. BSc International Agribusiness & Food Security (Dual Award) is taught as one award, not a list of unrelated modules. The published length is 36 months, and the credit total is 120. Students move from The production system through The production system; Measurement in the field; Policy or market choice; Applied project; The production system (BSC-D202), and finish on The production system (BSC-D202). Each course has a question, a method, and a submission. In this field, students map one named system, write a threat model, and specify the controls that would stop the most likely path. Reading is control catalogues, incident write-ups, and a short technical standard. The artefact a marker expects is a defensive design with a test plan and a statement of residual risk. The award is built so that a graduate can do the following in practice: Two official Bachelor degree certificates upon graduation Precision agriculture, smart logistics, and AfCFTA agricultural export modules Direct progression into dual master's and MBA pathways Teaching assumes the student can read a source, attempt a problem before the seminar, and revise after feedback. Attendance at live seminars is part of the design. The capstone or final course must use the methods of the earlier courses; a project that ignores them does not pass. The pages for each course name the topics that are examined. Those topics are the syllabus. A brochure line is not a substitute for them.

| BSC-D101 | The production system The production system (BSC-D101) is a 20-credit course on BSc International Agribusiness & Food Security (Dual Award), with 200 notional learning hours. By the end, students can map one named system, write a threat model, and specify the controls that would stop the most likely path, using The production system as the working context rather than a generic management example. The course is taught in three movements. First, students establish the terms and the decision the course is about. Second, they apply the method to a case, dataset, text, or design and compare it with a weaker alternative. Third, they revise the work after feedback and state what the conclusion cannot support. Preparation uses control catalogues, incident write-ups, and a short technical standard. Seminar time is for the decision, not for reading the materials aloud. Assessment is a defensive design with a test plan and a statement of residual risk. A pass requires a clear method, evidence a marker can check, and an explicit limit. Credit is not awarded for summary alone.

Modules are assessed through a published mix of coursework, applied projects, and examinations. Exam windows are announced in advance so students in other time zones are not forced into overnight sittings. Alternative arrangements are available where documented.
The published duration is 36 months. Teaching language: English / French. Actual time-to-complete depends on mode and any recognised prior learning.
This is a fully online award. You study from your country. No student visa and no campus relocation are required.
Degree tuition for this award is published as £0 / tuition-free on the online pathway. Examination or administrative fees may apply at checkout — never an annual tuition invoice. Check the Fees page for any extras.
Requirements are grouped on this page (academic, English, documents). Equivalent qualifications are considered. English may be waived after prior English-medium study.
Assessment is typically a mix of coursework, projects, and examinations. Doctoral awards include a thesis or dissertation and an oral examination. Details sit in the programme specification and module outlines.
Recognition of the award for local employment, professional licence, or ministry attestation is decided by your employer or regulator. African Future University publishes verification pages for certificates. We do not claim automatic equivalence in every country.
