That combination of online access and a focused timeframe can help you move towards your next goal while remaining connected to your work, family and commitments in Kinshasa.

Learn Without Fixed Online Attendance Times

You do not need to be online at specific times and dates. Instead of arranging your life around scheduled online attendance, you can engage with your studies at times that fit your routine.

Whether your best study hours come before work, after a busy day or over the weekend, this flexibility helps you make consistent progress on your own timetable.

Take Your Learning Wherever You Go

Study from Kinshasa, elsewhere in the Democratic Republic of the Congo or wherever your travels take you. Your online programme can move with you as your circumstances change.

Through the mobile app, you can download study materials and watch lectures offline. That means you can keep learning while travelling or when an internet connection is not available.

Show What You Know Through Open-Book Assessments

Rather than relying on classical question-and-answer exams, the programme uses open-book assessments. You can draw on course materials as you develop your responses.

This approach gives you the opportunity to engage closely with ideas, consider evidence and demonstrate how you would apply what you have learned to complex management questions.

Learn with Accomplished Faculty

Your tutors and faculty include graduates of world-renowned institutions such as Oxford, Harvard, EPFL, the University of Basel and Washington University in St. Louis.

Their varied academic backgrounds can introduce you to different perspectives as you examine leadership and sustainability. Online study gives you access to that teaching while you remain in Kinshasa.

Join a Global Learning Community

Study alongside a diverse student base drawn from more than 130 countries. Alumni work for organisations including DHL, CK Hutchison, BASF, Nestlé, Unilever, Daimler, BMW, Audi, GM, Louis Vuitton, the United Nations, Google, ICRC, the World Bank, Microsoft, Intel, Samsung, Tencent, Siemens and Sony.

Learning among people with different professional and geographic perspectives can broaden the way you approach a challenge. It is a chance to explore ideas beyond your immediate workplace while developing your own point of view.

Plan Your Payments with Monthly Instalments

Programme fees can be paid in up to 18 monthly interest-free instalments. This option lets you spread payments across your study journey.

With a clearer way to plan those payments, you can focus on the work ahead: developing your skills, engaging with your classmates and preparing for your next professional step.

Apply Your Learning to Opportunities in Kinshasa

Kinshasa is an important centre for decisions connected to the Democratic Republic of the Congo’s mining and minerals sector. Graduates can apply leadership and sustainability frameworks when considering supply-chain decisions, responsible operations and the long-term effects of business strategy.

The city’s infrastructure, energy and logistics activities also call for leaders who can coordinate people, resources and competing priorities. The programme can help you think critically about organisational change and how to balance performance with broader environmental and social goals.

In Kinshasa’s financial services, telecommunications, public-sector and international-development organisations, leaders often work across teams and borders. An MBA focused on leadership and sustainability can give you concepts to draw on as you navigate that complexity and pursue work with lasting impact.
