About African Future University

Fully online African digital university with French and English pathways.

Overview

This thirty-credit LLM is for quality directors, in-house education lawyers-adjacent staff, and partnership leads who must read UK qualifications regulation without claiming a desk at Ofqual. University of Brigant teaches Ofqual-facing literacy—conditions of recognition, malpractice, and the difference between a degree and a regulated qualification—beside Scottish SQA-facing language as comparator, not as automatic listing. Edinburgh or tuition-free online, one standard. Not a practising certificate. No regulator logos. Dual-pathway students sit the same thirty-credit construct in Edinburgh and tuition-free online. This LLM is academic literacy, not SQE, not a practising certificate, and not Ofqual employment.

Delivered fully online with live seminars, recorded lectures, and tutor support.
