Overview
Why to study
Africa is ripe for growth - but there is a shortage of good specialists who have the right financial skills to grow the market and improve the overall investment climate.
The Master of Commerce degree in Development Finance at the University of Cape Town will give you the expertise to turn your ideas into long-term development solutions that improve lives, uplift communities and place Africa on the global stage. This specialised degree is offered in a modular format over two years.
Development finance is a tool for people and institutions that want to influence development trends in an emerging market context and make large-scale changes that can positively impact quality of life. The UCT GSB has five decades of experience in business education in an emerging market context and is a globally-ranked business school with a world-class reputation. We are one of less than 100 business schools in the world to be triple-crown accredited.
You will gain a solid understanding of finance as applied in the international development context and the expertise to start initial investments that can thrive in economically challenging markets and provide sustainable outcomes.
