We use have to if we want to express an objective obligation, that means something is obligatory, for example:
My father has to work 8 hours every day. You have to study at university if you want to obtain my MBA.
We use must to express a subjective obligation. A subjective obligation is something essential or nessary, for example:
I must leave now. or You must come to our party. (you simply can't afford missing it).
