About African Future University

Fully online African digital university with French and English pathways.

Overview

This tuition-free online MA at African Future University is for analysts, ministry desk officers, and civil-society researchers who must read African Union and regional-economic-community texts without being employed by those bodies. You will study how decisions move from Addis or a REC headquarters into national gazettes—and where they stop. English and French assessment options match official working languages of many files. The degree does not confer an AU post and does not use the AU emblem. Rural implementation cases (where continental policy never arrives) are required. Capstones use public documents, not leaked organograms.

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