organization dedicated to building capacity in
developing countries, I am pleased that you may be
considering enrolling in a unique execuvtive
leadership and management education programme that is
highly-regarded throughout the Commonwealth and
beyond.
Expanding
Your Option
The
CEMBA / MPA courses were developed by subject matter
exerts from universities in Australia, New Zealand,
Sri Lanka, India, and Canada, and each Partner
University provides learner support through tutors and
local study centres and localised supplementary
learning materials.
The
Programmes provide flexible study options for busy
managers and working professionals, Students may
choose from two fields of study: Business
Administration (MBA) or Public Adminstration (MPA),
with the option of :

recognized and bona fide transfer of credits;
Multiple
Programme exit points, with the option of earning a
post-graduate diploma or a Masters degree, in as

Programme Growth:
Since
2006, CEMBA / MPA Programmes have expanded to Ghana (Kwame
Nkrumah University of Science and Technology);
Malaysia (Wawasan Open University); and Nigeria

They
