I was a bit skeptical about taking an online course, but the Undergraduate Certificate in Geopolitics of Africa at Stanmore School of Business exceeded my expectations. The course content was engaging, and I loved how it was divided into modules that focused on specific regions and topics. The discussions with my peers were lively and informative, and I gained a lot of practical knowledge about the political and economic landscape of Africa. For example, I learned about the role of the African Union in promoting regional integration and the impact of Chinese investment on the continent. The course materials were relevant and up-to-date, and the instructors were always available to answer questions. My only suggestion would be to include more case studies, but overall, I'm happy with the course and would recommend it to others.
