The mobile app lets you download study materials and watch lectures offline. You can use travel time and other available moments to keep moving forward, even 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. This approach gives you the opportunity to engage with sources, think through problems and develop well-supported responses.

In business analytics and AI, knowing how to use information thoughtfully matters. Open-book assessment lets you practise that skill while demonstrating your understanding of the ideas behind it.

Plan your fees with monthly instalments

Investing in a master’s degree is an important decision. The programme’s fees can be paid in up to 18 monthly interest-free instalments, giving you a way to spread the cost over time.

That predictable payment schedule can make it easier to plan your studies alongside your other commitments. You can focus on what you want to learn and how you intend to use it.

Connect your ambitions to opportunities in Lubumbashi

Lubumbashi is a major centre for the Democratic Republic of the Congo’s mining economy. For graduates working in or alongside the copper and cobalt sectors, business analytics can offer ways to examine operational data, forecast demand, assess performance and support more informed decisions. AI concepts can add another perspective on how organisations identify patterns and improve processes.

Mining also depends on transport, procurement, warehousing and wider supply chains. The programme’s analytical approach could help professionals in these fields think more clearly about inventory, delivery times, resource allocation and risk—questions with relevance both in Lubumbashi and across international markets.

Beyond mining, Lubumbashi’s businesses and service providers need people who can interpret information and communicate its implications. Whether your interests lie in finance, technology, entrepreneurship or organisational leadership, the ability to combine data, business judgement and an understanding of AI can help you contribute to decisions that matter.
