About African Future University
Fully online African digital university with French and English pathways.
Overview
African Future University’s tuition-free online MSc in Cooperative Banking and Microfinance Management is for SACCO managers, credit-union officers, and MFI supervisors who must keep member funds honest under weak supervision and rural cash logistics. You will study governance, loan-book quality, and digital channels that fail when connectivity drops. English and French assessment options match OHADA and common-law cooperative files. The degree does not authorise deposit-taking and does not confer a banking licence. Rural member cases are required. Capstones use anonymised loan or governance files, not a pitch for a banking licence.
Delivered fully online with live seminars, recorded lectures, and tutor support.
