Additionally, the payment plan is great and withĚýUNICAF’s help, I was able to work hard and achieve my dream of earning a Master’s degree,Ěýwhich would not have been possible with my current busy schedule.

Overall, the experienceĚýthus far has been very rewarding and I truly recommend studying with UNICAF, especially toĚýthose busy persons, who may want to further their studies.” – Tiffany Campbell, Jamaica

So why should your employer choose you over all other candidates for the job?

The ability to adapt well to change, to be aware of the latest insights and to be flexible are essential qualities when it comes to being selected for promotion to a managerial position. These qualities cannot simply be picked up on the job.

Consider the case of Kennedy Mwashi, a banker from Ghana. With the help of a generous UNICAF scholarship he was able to enrol on an MBA programme offered by the University of South Wales. The flexible online delivery enabled him to balance work and family commitments while studying. Having expanded his professional expertise in several management fields, like human resources, finance and management, Mr Mwashi was promoted to the position of Branch Manager, by the Bank he is working for, before even completing the MBA programme.

All MBA degrees offered by UNICAF’s partner universities are internationally recognised, well-structured programmes, providing hands-on training for professionals, who are encouraged to apply the newly acquired knowledge and skills in their own workplace. Each separate module provides knowledge and insight in a specific area, while all modules combined together offer the all-round training and tools, which can help accelerate and advance your career.

Online study through UNICAF offers quality higher education at a fraction of the cost, while also eliminating spending for travel, accommodation and textbooks. Study materials are readily available through UNICAF’s state-of-the-art Virtual Learning Environment and can be accessed from any PC, laptop, tablet or smart phone.

A UNICAF scholarship has enabled Kennedy Mwashi to study for an internationally recognised MBA and to get promoted to a managerial position. You can do it too! With the help of UNICAF.

Watch Kennedy Mwashi’s testimonial, videotaped during the UNICAF London Conference below:

An MBA degree is now viewed as an elemental prerequisite for being employed by any self- respecting corporation. And even though there are many people who have left their mark in the business world, or have even established corporate empires, without having studied for a business degree, the possibility of failure increases dramatically for all types of business, when there is no MBA graduate on board, and the operation is run on a trial and error basis.

The MBA degree focuses on blending and interrelating business theories with practical application. During the course, students improve their leadership skills, become more innovative, get a good grasp of the organisational structure of companies, use scientific analysis to understand how the market operates, develop their creativity and their ability to think outside the box, and enhance their team work skills.

These key competences can be decisive in ensuring the success of an organisation and the further development of one’s professional career. Strategic and financial management, professional development skills and a good knowledge of business and research methods complete the MBA course subjects.

Even though the MBA is a business degree and thus considered as being only relevant to corporate jobs, it can, in fact be very beneficial for anyone running their own company or business, or holding a crucial position in an enterprise, because it improves operational understanding, management of finances and forecasting of future trends and changes in the economic climate.

Hezron Mainga Muia, Database Systems and Capacity Building Specialist, who works for the United Nations Development Programme (UNDP) in the Gambia, and is currently an MBA student with UNICAF, has already experienced considerable improvement in the way he is doing his work, as a result of knowledge and skills he has acquired during the course. “This is the most transformative course I have taken in my life. I am sure that it will fix all that I thought was lost. I am in my first module, yet I feel transformed”, Mr Muia stated.

“This is the most transformative course I have taken in my life. I am sure that it will fix all that I thought was lost. I am in my first module, yet I feel transformed”

The MBA course material not only enhances and evolves the way students and professionals approach their work, it also makes graduates more employable; an internationally recognised MBA degree is universally considered as proof of graduates’ mastering of all necessary knowledge on the conduct of business, as well as of their ability to handle complex issues and carry out their duties responsibly, innovatively and creatively.

“With all I have learned so far, I am consciously building the disposition befitting a professional.” Ifeanyi David, Head of the Customer Service Unit for Keystone Bank Limited, Nigeria, said when he was asked if the MBA course has had an impact on his daily work.

“With all I have learned so far, I am consciously building the disposition befitting a professional.”

UNICAF offers prospective MBA students the choice to keep their job during their studies. A regular university degree usually requires that the student attends several lectures, scheduled at specific times sometimes, at far away campuses. Because all UNICAF degrees are available online, students can choose the time of day and the place where they wish to study. This leaves room to pursue work, take care of family and significantly reduce the amount of money one needs to pay for expensive tuition fees, accommodation, even air travel and visa in a foreign country, etc.

All UNICAF degrees can be earned with a UNICAF Scholarship and are equivalent to traditional university degrees; they are taught and awarded by the specific university the student chooses for their studies (University of South Wales, Unicaf University, Marymount California University or University of Nicosia). This avoids the confusion that some respective employers may have if presented with an online degree. The course material is the same as that taught to students attend classes in campus; all MBA students are required to submit assignments in order to earn the degree. This ensures the high quality of degrees offered through UNICAF and their internationally recognised status.

Mr Umuteme, could you please tell us where you work and what position you have at your company?

I was formerly working as Engineering Design Lead in Shell Nigeria up till November 2014, but now started my own firm as CEO at Derock Global Energy Resources Company Limited since 2015.

What courses have you been recently studying and why did you chose them?

I have been studying the following short courses via your Intercollege platform:

1. Human Resources Management (HRM-101)
2. Marketing Management (MAM-101)
3. Management Theories and Philosophies (MTP-101)

As a CEO of a new company, though I had engineering background, I needed to understand what it meant to be a top-management executive, overcoming the human resources bottlenecks with the increasing turnover rates worldwide and how to make my services/products accessible to the outside world. I made several internet searches until I came across these offers in your website. When I read through the course descriptions, I knew I had gotten what I wanted.

How was your experience with the application process at UNICAF and did you receive all the information you needed to make an informed decision?
The application to response lead time was quiet impressive. I had a student adviser who called personally, and always speaks with a friendly tone – always willing to offer assistance and, then followed me up through the process with several helpful emails.

Did you have any difficulties using the online platform?

And I must confess that the stability of the online platform was commendable. The materials were accessible and richly developed with experts’ materials in the subject field.

Do you feel that your lecturers are available for you if you need any additional help?

My lecturer was responsive – though we communicated via email, yet I felt that personal interest in my career in his the emails. This also encouraged me to move from one stage to the other.

Has what you learned improved your career?

I am currently putting all the learnings together and I believe this will lead to the turnaround I have been expecting. My confidence has improved and I am set to face the competitive sea of investment.

Nothing is as good as having the feeling of a professional in a business environment where one can use and speak the language of business with confidence. This is how I feel right now. I believe I now have the needed core competence and competitive advantage to succeed.

Would you recommend the UNICAF Short Courses and why?

I will recommend UNICAF again for those who are willing to learn and develop their competence in business and leadership, to take the advantage this learning opportunity has to offer, so that they can learn at own pace, yet with international focus in mind.
