General information

Africa is, without a doubt, the continent of the 21st century. So, it becomes urgent to open a space where several academics share their research work with students interested in the continent. The Diploma course in Studies on Africa seeks for attendees to venture into African studies, expand their knowledge and become decision makers on issues related to the African region. In the same way, some skills such as ease of speech, critical thinking, and analytical ability will be very useful within the diploma course. Through these characteristics, we seek to establish a profile that allows students to carry out research and identify job opportunities that respond to their professional interests.


Admission profile

Open to every kind of public.
