LoadingLoadingLoadingLoadingMBA Finance & Entrepreneurship — one admission, a shared core, two named specialisations.
Online only
A double-path MBA for founders and finance managers in African SMEs and growth firms. Shared management core, then pathways in Finance (analysis, funding, risk) and Entrepreneurship (venture building, growth, operations), closing with a capstone that funds and scales a real venture. African Future University delivers this award fully online across African time zones. There is no campus. Assessment is identity-checked and the academic standard is the same for every student. This is an academic MBA award; where a field has a licensing or registration route, that remains a matter for your professional body or regulator. You will work through the material as a practitioner-researcher: applied methods, real or anonymised cases, and a supervised capstone or dissertation as the final component. Faculty mark whether you noticed the constraints a slide deck usually hides. MBA Finance & Entrepreneurship (Dual Track) is taught as one award, not a list of unrelated modules. The published length is 24 months, and the credit total is 42. Students move from Managerial Economics & Decision Analysis through Managerial Economics & Decision Analysis; Financial & Management Accounting; Leadership & Organisational Behaviour; Research Methods & Identity-Checked Assessment; Corporate Finance & Valuation for SMEs; Working Capital, Credit & Cash Management, and finish on Dual-Track Capstone: Fund & Scale a Venture. Each course has a question, a method, and a submission. In this field, students read a set of figures, build a small case, and state which assumption moves the result. Reading is financial statements, a recognition note, and a risk report. The artefact a marker expects is a recommendation that separates the decision, the numbers, and the risk. The award is built so that a graduate can do the following in practice: Value an asset or a business and defend the assumptions Read financial statements and a funding structure for risk Model cashflows, returns and sensitivities under real constraints 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. This course does not confer an accounting, audit, or financial-services licence. 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.
The programme carries 42 credits across four assessed modules. Delivery is tuition-free aside from the examination fee. Transcripts use letter grades and a GPA scale consistent with African Future University awards. No professional-body logo is used in marketing to imply endorsement.

| AFFE701 | Managerial Economics & Decision Analysis Managerial Economics & Decision Analysis (AFFE701) is a 3-credit course on MBA Finance & Entrepreneurship (Dual Track), with 30 notional learning hours. By the end, students can read a set of figures, build a small case, and state which assumption moves the result, using Managerial Economics & Decision Analysis 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 financial statements, a recognition note, and a risk report. Seminar time is for the decision, not for reading the materials aloud. Assessment is a recommendation that separates the decision, the numbers, and the risk. A pass requires a clear method, evidence a marker can check, and an explicit limit. Credit is not awarded for summary alone. This course does not confer an accounting, audit, or financial-services licence.
