CURRICULUM
Course Structure
Every course at Musizi will culminate in team or individual projects. This means that by the time you graduate from Musizi, you will have a portfolio of completed projects to share with employers. The project-based approach helps you learn how to work and solve problems in teams - you will learn your strengths and areas for improvement, conflict resolution skills and tolerance for different viewpoints. Because project-based learning is based on real-world challenges, you will learn both in and outside the classroom setting and be prepared to make a change.
Hybrid Learning
You will have a mix of in-person and online classes at Musizi where you will be taught by passionate and engaging lecturers from Uganda and across the globe. This will enable you to gain exposure to Uganda's indigenous knowledges, modern Ugandan and African case studies, and global expertise.
