Master of Science in Enterprise Growth and Capital

Why this programme exists

Africa is full of small enterprises that never grow and promising companies that stall for want of capital and the capability to deploy it, and the missing profession is the growth operator who can take a viable business and scale it, and the capital professional who can finance that growth. This taught, project heavy masters is built for managers, founders, analysts and finance professionals who will grow companies and structure the capital behind them, and it treats growth and capital as one discipline. The emphasis is on the deployable playbook and the real deal, and the programme terminates in a growth or capital engagement with a real company.
