“After receiving my PMP Certification and after participating in many managerial committees inside ELSEWEDY – Electric, I decided to expand my managerial knowledge and skills by studying for an MBA degree with a leading British University: the University of East London. I was able to earn a British MBA online, at an affordable cost and without putting my career on hold, thanks to the Unicaf Scholarship Programme.”

Unicaf came through for me by financing a large percentage of my tuition fees. The new knowledge and skills I am receiving through this programme are making me a better all-around educator.”

Natasha Lisa Jervier, Dominican Republic, Master of Arts in International Relations
“Unicaf has offered me an opportunity that no other institution has.

Unicaf made the process simple, and I am happy with the quality of service and the overall online learning experience.”
James Andati Ofula, Kenya, Master of Science in Healthcare Management
“As a graduate, I am proud to say that Unicaf University makes it possible for anyone who needs an academic foundation to start or advance in their career to study online, without giving up their job and income. The generous scholarships make studies affordable for all. I have been working and, at the same time, attending my classes online. My lecturers were always available to ensure that every student had grasped what was taught. The e-library and study materials were easy to access in the Virtual Learning Environment. I was also able to interact and exchange ideas and experiences with fellow students from all over the world, and this interaction has enhanced our professional thinking.”
Emily Kamizi, Zambia, Master of Business Administration – Oil, Gas and Energy Management
Studying for my Master’s at Unicaf University greatly impacted my life and career. It opened up doors for me to advance my career and increased my credibility in the workplace. As a Unicaf University graduate, I am profoundly grateful, for the experiences and opportunities I had throughout my academic journey. During my time at Unicaf University, I was challenged to develop valuable skills that can serve me well in my career. I was also challenged to be analytical and think beyond my comfort zone.
One of the highlights of my studies at Unicaf University was the chance to closely work with my lecturers and peers. I mostly appreciated the virtual learning environment which allowed me to conduct my studies from anywhere and at anytime. The virtual learning environment also enabled me to have meaningful discussions with my class peers.
Onyinye Mercy Agu, Nigeria, Master of Business Administration – Health Management
When I think back on the experiences we have shared over the past two years, I remember the classes we took online, while juggling our hectic work and family schedules, the sheer frustration at disruptions in Internet provision, the long searches for the books and journals we wanted from the Unicaf digital library, the times when we, or family members, were sick and we could not do our coursework, the financial difficulties some of us faced when we had to pay the next fee instalment. And then I remember with gratitude the sense of accomplishment every time we completed a module, every time we received a good grade, every time our professors, tutors and fellow students encouraged us to keep trying harder, every time a considerate student adviser found a way to help us pay the fee instalments, every time we felt excited about all the knowledge we could access with just one click in the vast Unicaf digital library, every time we reignited our dedication in earning our Master’s to build the career and life we want for us and our families.
The Unicaf online digital platform served us in many different ways; we accessed coursework, submitted assignments and received grades and comments from our tutors, we had interactive sessions to help us better understand the material we were studying, we were able to conduct research and study in the digital library, and to use the platform for social interaction. We voluntarily assisted one another through our constant communication with fellow students from around the world, learning about work processes and work culture in other countries. People from related departments were able to work together, often engaging in spirited discussions, exchanging ideas and sharing opinions. We made new friends and created a solid professional network through these exchanges.
